Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 on a contract running until 2026 (following the end of his tenure at AC Milan), has been at the heart of rumours in recent weeks. There are doubts about an extension, despite the willingness shown by the Italian and his agent Enzo Raiola. The Italian international gave a brief update to the media on Wednesday evening.
Donnarumma “We don’t have any problems.”
“We’re moving forward, we’re moving forward, my agent is talking to the club, I’m focused on the matches, on the trophy. We don’t have any problems.”
The words are clear-cut and encourage optimism at the idea of a contract extension, even if it hasn’t yet been settled. It’s clear, however, that the rumours have been calmed by Donnarumma and his agent’s repeated insistence that the priority is to stay at PSG.
This is the most likely outcome, and it may even be close. But we remain cautious, as nothing is certain without a signature. So let’s wait and see if the deal goes through, even if there is reason to believe.
