The tension is at its height between Gianluigi Donnarumma and Paris Saint-Germain. While the Italian goalkeeper, under contract until June 2026, is now dismissed and pushed towards the exit, negotiations for an extension have turned short. The situation has been won after the words of those around him, who delivered his version of the facts earlier this week.

Tuesday, Donnarumma had spoke to remind his attachment to the club, ensuring that he wanted “Continue to win with Paris” and deploring a situation that he had
“Not desired”. But behind this public declaration, discussions with the Parisian management were already broken. And if the former Milanese told Parisian supporters his flame, he was a little less tender towards a member of the club. “Unfortunately, someone decided that I could no longer be part of this group and contribute to the success of the team”he wrote.

His agent, Enzo Raiola, notably explained that exchanges had failed due to a disagreement on the salary revaluation of his client. According to him, PSG had not made a sufficient effort to keep the European champion 2021, despite its performances last season. In the Italian press, Raiola continues to repeat that the club behaved badly,

even going so far as to imagine a judicial appeal

“He wanted more”

This Friday, the daily The Parisian reveals that the capital's club firmly disputes this version.
“Donnarumma was offered a new contract, making him again one of the best paid goalkeepers in the world, but he wanted more. Luis Enrique said: 'Okay, let's move on' “explains a relative of the file.

Internally, we assure that we have no regrets. “A great emotional charge surrounds this file. But we have a quiet conscience and we respect Gianluigi. His entourage told his version of the facts but part of the story was given only and not its entirety ”entrusts a source to Parisian. A soap opera which now seems close to its epilogue, and not in the best conditions.
