Homecoming for Donnarumma?
In Italy, we are worried about the captain of the Donnarumma selection. THE Corriere dello Sport talks about Luis Enrique’s affront to his goalkeeper. Both privately and publicly, the player is no longer unanimous in the mind of the PSG coach, as we saw with Safonov’s tenure recently. Donnarumma is not reassuring either, it must be said, with 5 goals conceded in the last 7 shots on target. This broken trust materializes with his contract. While everything indicated that he was going to extend, the negotiations are today at a standstill. As a reminder, his contract runs until 2026. Luis Enrique has indicated that he wants a goalkeeper who knows how to use his feet, which is not the case with the Italian. For the newspaper, his treatment could push him to leave next summer.
