Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 on a contract that runs 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 of the Italian and his agent Enzo Raiola. The latter spoke once again to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“At stake is the culmination of an already historic season.”
“We are talking (about an extension). Such long negotiations are not an anomaly, we’re talking about the best goalkeeper in the world. (We’re optimistic, PSG is a great club.
Let’s get through these last few matches. At stake is the culmination of an already historic season. Then we’ll try to reach an agreement within a reasonable timeframe.”
A clear statement, even if there’s no question of an agreement yet. The idea is still clear: an extension at PSG. Discussions are well advanced, but the priority is to concentrate on finishing the Club World Cup (semi-final against Real Madrid on Wednesday, final on Sunday if he wins).
An appreciable mentality, without pressure. Donnarumma knows what he wants next, and there will be time to finalize negotiations. So we’ll just have to wait and hope that there’s another title to celebrate before looking at this extension. Just like the rest of the mercato, in fact.
