Donnarumma leaves PSG: an emotional farewell is imminent!
A wave of change is rolling over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Following the recent dismissal of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian goalkeeper, the former player has now spoken publicly for the first time. In an emotional statement, he expressed his disappointment at coach Luis Enrique's decision to exclude him from the squad for the UEFA Super Cup game against Tottenham. Foot Mercato reports that Donnarumma confirms his impending departure and expresses a desire to say goodbye to fans at the Parc des Princes.
Enrique's decision to adjust the team's goalkeeper profile is no coincidence. PSG has signed a new keeper, Lucas Chevalier, whose ball distribution skills should compensate for Donnarumma's weaknesses. PSG achieved a lot last season, winning the coveted treble and lifting the UEFA Champions League after an impressive 5-0 win over Inter. Nevertheless, Donnarumma's criticized mistakes and the search for a different goalkeeping profile seemed to play a role in this upheaval. CBS Sports highlights that Donnarumma is now no longer part of the PSG project with a contract until the summer of 2026.
The players' reaction and the future
His former colleague Ousmane Dembélé reacted promptly to Donnarumma's message. With a heart emoji on Instagram, he shows solidarity with the Italian keeper, with whom he spent two years as a teammate. It remains to be seen how the team will change under Enrique's leadership without Donnarumma, who was considered one of the key players in last season's success. Dembélé and other teammates certainly have similar thoughts about the situation.
The future of Donnarumma remains uncertain. Rumors of a possible move to another club remain stagnant as his agent explores options. English clubs seem to be the favorites in this race. However, PSG want to avoid Donnarumma's departure to prevent him from becoming a free agent in 2026, which is reminiscent of his previous situation at AC Milan when he left for free in 2021. In his message, Donnarumma also wishes to be able to take part in the upcoming World Cup in 2026 - an opportunity that was denied him in the previous tournaments in 2018 and 2022.
PSG in transition
PSG is currently experiencing a change that doesn't just affect Donnarumma. In recent transfer periods, the club has invested more than 100 million euros, while they generated income of just 7 million euros, leaving them with a deficit of 96 million euros. Transfermarkt shows that the club tries to set the right course for a successful future with every transfer.
What happens next with Donnarumma remains exciting. His contributions to the team are undisputed, but with the new strategic goals under Enrique, his time may be up. The coming weeks will show how the situation will develop.
