The way of doing things was very tough for Gianluigi Donnarumma. After four years of good and loyal services and XXL services in the Money Time of the last Champions League, the 26 -year -old porter was invited to take the exit door, one year from the end of his contract. Replaced by Lucas Chevalier, “Gigio” pays the assumed choice of Luis Enrique to want another caretaker profile for the game of his PSG.
QSI PSG has never negotiated a transfer with the City of Abu Dhabi
“These are difficult decisions, but I assume the responsibility of the choice that has been made. If they were easy to take, anyone would take them. They have to do with the profile of goalkeeper my team needs ”said Spanish yesterday at a press conference. Not summoned for the European Super Cup match against Tottenham, Donnarumma is asked to find a new club. Everything seemed to be accelerating with an announced agreement between the player and Manchester City yesterday.
Ederson could leave the Cityzens to go to Galatasaray and Donnarumma would therefore replace him. Information however denied in the columns of the Gazzetta dello Sport By the player's agent, Vincenzo Raiola. “For the moment, we have not concluded any agreement with anyone, there is no negotiation in progress. There are possibilities in the Premier League, but I hope that PSG will not be clever. Anyway, it was necessary to clarify the situation with the supporters ”.
A more peaceful context?
The fact remains that City remains the main option for “Gigio”. And if the case were to be concluded, we would witness a historical transfer, regardless of the price. Indeed, since Qatar took control of PSG and Manchester City has been held by the Emiratis, no transfer has been negotiated between the two clubs. Some players went well between the two stables (Claudio Gomes and Mahamadou Sangaré), but still as free players. Finally, there has been a Parisian interest in Bernardo Silva in recent years, but the Portuguese has never been in a favorable position to rally the French capital. An observation due to the high rivalry between the two Gulf states which exceeded the framework of the sportsman (Abu Dhabi was notably one of the major players with Saudi Arabia of the Qatar blockade between 2017 and 2021).
Tensions that therefore gave birth to this unprecedented situation and other anecdotes such as the end of the collaboration between PSG and the Emirates airline … based in Dubai or the dismissal of Laurent Blanc in 2016, only a few months after his extension, after the defeat in the quarterfinals of the Champions League against City. Furious and vexed from his new failure in C1 against the Emirati rival, PSG had not hesitated to turn his coach, even if it means paying him a check of just over 20 M €. Since then, relations between the two countries have appealed and the two clubs have managed to win the prestigious cup with the big ears. What to promote a great first on the transfer window?
