Donnarumma not disappointed by Luis Enrique
If Gianluigi Donnarumma did not extend to Paris Saint-Germain it is partly due to a decision by Luis Enrique. The Parisian coach preferred another profile to him, that of Lucas Chevalier. A decision that is difficult to understand for “Gigio” and his entourage after the season made by the Italian.
Asked about his relationship with Luis Enrique, Donnarumma claims to have always had good relations with Spanish: “I have always had excellent relationships with the coach. I appreciate it because it was frank with me. I did not expect to leave the evening when we won the Champions League, but this season, at the end of the preparation, he came to see me and told me about his decision concerning my role as a goalkeeper. So I can't be disappointed with him. »»
“Everyone has the right to make their own choices and Luis Enrique made his own, he added. The support of my teammates and PSG supporters made me understand what I brought to the club. In the end, what remains is that: knowing that everyone loves me makes me proud and happy with what I left behind. »»
