Before the meeting of Super Cup that will oppose PSG to Tottenham, Luis Enrique returned to the Donnarumma soap.

Donnarumma at Paris Saint-Germain, it's over! The news has escaped anyone, the Italian goalkeeper decided to leave PSG this summer. After long weeks of suspense, the porter who was under contract until June 2026 with the Parisian club should take the direction of Manchester City.

Refusing any extension offer proposed by PSG, Gianluigi Donnarumma was sidelined by the club, which refused to yield to its wage requirements. The Parisian management has decided to hire Lucas Chevalier as a number 1 goalkeeper and thus make Italian understand that he is no longer welcome in Paris.

On the eve of the UEFA Super Cup meeting which will oppose PSG to Tottenham (this Wednesday at 9 p.m.), Luis Enrique returned to a press conference on the choice to rule out the Transalpine goalkeeper. A choice motivated by sporting and not contractual reasons, according to him: ” These are always difficult to make decisions, I know. I can only say good gigio Donnarumma: he is one of the best players in his post, without a doubt, and he is even better as no one, but we were looking for a different caretaker profile. And I repeat, it's always difficult to make a decision like that. »»

Luis Enrique does not know what to expect against Tottenham

Faced with the media, the Parisian coach also returned to the meeting which will oppose his own to the Spurs this Wednesday. Finalists of the Club World Cup on July 13, Parisians had only one week of training before the Super Cup. A short delay which gives way to doubt as to the performance of the players.

“” To be honest, I don't know. It's very different from what we usually do, but it's the calendar that wants that. After less than three weeks of rest, we resumed training with the joy of preparing this match, but I don't know the level we can offer “Said the former Spanish coach.

As a reminder, the meeting will take place this Wednesday evening at 9 p.m. at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy.
