Pushed towards the exit by Paris Saint-Germain, Gianluigi Donnarumma animated the Mercato chronicle all summer. In the viewfinder of Manchester City, the Italian porter has farewell to the Parisian people at the Parc des Princes, proving that one can go from heroes to undesirable in the space of a few months.
This sudden and brutal downgrading is not without consequences for the Italian selection. Despite his global reference status at his post, Donnarumma needs to play to stay competitive. But on the other side of the Alps, there is no question of doing without the number 1 of the Nazional.
While the list of Gennaro Gattuso was eagerly awaited, Gigio Donnarumma appears well in the Italian group summoned for the first international rally of this season. The Italian coach maintained his confidence in the European champion porter.
A beautiful mark of confidence for Donnarumma
Friday, Donnarumma was thus included in a list of 28 players. Better still, the recent winner of the Champions League could remain holder, even in the medium term, in the goals of the Suadra Azzurra.
As a reminder, Donnarumma totals 74 selections at only 26 years old. He had been the great craftsman of the coronation of Italy at the Euro, in 2021, finishing best caretaker and best player in the competition. The Nazional will face Estonia and Israel during this international break.
