Arrived free from AC Milan in July 2021, Gianluigi Donnarumma took the place of Keylor Navas as a number one goalkeeper from Paris Saint-Germain. Not without wiping some criticisms of his game at the foot and her aerial outings. Supported by his hierarchy, the transalpine progressed in these different sectors and fully participated in the first coronation of PSG in the Champions League. And yet, Paris decided to do everything to welcome Lucas Chevalier. And he informed “Gigio” Donnarumma of the arrival of the tricolor porter.
The revelation of this information was made on Friday by RMC. According to the media, the progress of the negotiations between Lille and PSG is such that the capital's club deemed necessary to inform its Italian goalkeeper. The knight file is not recent and dates from more than a year already. Last summer, Paris had tried to bring the Lille, but things were not done. This time, an agreement for a transfer around forty million euros seems more than likely.
The announcement threw an additional cold kick on the side of Gianluigi Donnarumma and his entourage. According to RMC, the Italian clan has chosen to remain silent while waiting for the development of the global file. Under contract until June 2026, the 2021 European champion with Italy had been discussing a possible extension for several months. But his financial greed had put a serious obstacle to discussions.
Donnarumma forced to cohabit with knight?
There could therefore very soon be a new “war” of the guards at PSG with two men with the same stature to occupy the only position of holder. The situation could also be settled if Gianluigi Donnarumma decided to fold luggage this summer. PSG would be rather for such a scenario, said the media which has also specified as for Luis Enrique, it is Lucas Chevalier who will be “Builded to become goalkeeper number 1 from PSG upon arrival”.
Suffice to say that the atmosphere among the goalkeepers could well deteriorate very quickly if Paris kept both Donnarumma and knight next season. Case to follow.
