History is of rare brutality. Barely a few weeks ago, Gianluigi Donnarumma raised the Champions League, carried in triumph by an entire people. Today, it is requested to go and see elsewhere. The arrival of Lucas Chevalier and his non-conqueror for the European Super Cup was a message of a crystal clarity: the page is turned. In this express divorce, a question arises: how much does PSG demand to let those who were still the best goalkeeper in the world two months ago?
An open door … but not sold out
The club has set its prize, and according to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, it is to 50 million euros. An amount that may seem high for a player put in the closet, but which remains reasonable for a caretaker of this caliber. In any case, this is the sum which was communicated to Manchester City, the first club to have officially contacted. The English club, which could see its goalkeeper Ederson going to Galatasaray, made Italian his top priority to replace him. Pep Guardiola appreciates the profile, and the player is very interested.
City for the moment judges the price “Too high”,
But we know the song of the transfer window. This is the start of negotiations. PSG may not be ” gourmand “,
as suggested RMC Sportbut he won't sell off his European champion either. The message is clear: you want it? It will be necessary to sign the check.
PSG wants to sell Donnarumma, but not at any cost
Donnarumma, a decommissioning that challenges
This situation is still quite singular. How can a player go from hero to pariah in the space of a summer? This is the signature of Luis Enrique, which always has the last word on sporting choices. He wanted Lucas Chevalier, he had Lucas Chevalier. And cohabitation with Donnarumma has never been an option. A radical decision, which shakes a cloakroom where the Italian had solid support.
For Donnarumma, the feeling of ingratitude must be immense. He expected a restless summer, but probably not such violent exclusion. Here he is on the market, looking for a project where he will feel desired again. Manchester City seems to be the ideal destination. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs will be able to agree on a figure that suits everyone. Because if PSG really wants to turn the page, it may have to revise its requirements downwards.
