The rumor has been circulating since yesterday, it is now official: Gianluigi Donnarumma is not part of the Parisian group which will face Tottenham in UEFA Super Cup this Wednesday. A strong decision made by Paris Saint-Germain against the Italian goalkeeper who passed from the status of heroes to that of unwanted.
After the signing of Lucas Chevalier, things were already clear at PSG, the former Lille would be the number 1 goalkeeper of the club thus pushing Donnarumma towards the exit. Under contract until June 2026, the porter of Squadra Azzurra has not accepted any extension offer proposed by Parisian leaders due to various between the two parties concerning the player's wage requirements. Thinking that Parisians were going to eventually give in, the Italian finally got into his own game. But the French champion decided not to fold and take measures that make Gianluigi Donnarumma understand that he is no longer welcome at PSG.
One year before its end of contract, a transalpine departure therefore seems very likely this summer. Unsurprisingly, Fabrizio Romano indicates that no extension agreement will be found and reveals that the Donnarumma clan pleads injustice: “Paris Saint-Germain excludes Gigio Donnarumma from its team for the UEFA Super Cup. Donnarumma will not sign a new contract at PSG, there is no agreement and he will leave the club 100%, this summer or in 2026 as a free agent. The Gigio camp believes that the situation is unfair to the goalkeeper. ”
Donnarumma's entourage reacts to his sidelines
On the side of the player's entourage, we do not understand the Parisian decision. “How can they do this to him?” »» indicates one of the relatives of “Gigio” according to remarks relayed by The team. “After all that he did, helping the club win the Champions League, he does not even include it in a competition (…) to which he would never have accessed without his help … “, he added.
In Italy, the sidelining of Gianluigi Donnarumma makes a lot of noise. This Tuesday morning the Italian press did not mince its words. “Donnarumma national case. A slap in Gigio ”, Can we read in the front page of the Gazetta dello Sport. THE CORRIERE DELLO SPORT Do not hesitate to make the parallel between the current situation of Donnarumma and those of Sirigu and Buffon, the other Italian goalkeepers put in the cupboard by PSG: ” After Sirigu and Buffon, it's Donnarumma's turn, in Paris, they want it to Italian guards ».
One thing is certain, the divorce between the two parties is confirmed. It remains to be seen whether Gianluigi Donnarumma will decide to leave the Parisian ship where he will prefer to stay aside during his last year of contract.
