Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 on a contract until 2026 (following the end of his contract with AC Milan), has been at the center of rumors in recent weeks. There are doubts about an extension, despite the Italian and his agent Enzo Raiola’s stated desire to do so. L’Equipe reports that talks are set to resume very soon, but there is still a sticking point between what PSG is offering and what the Italian’s camp is asking for.
“The main sticking point remains the conditions set by PSG.”
“Initially, the decision on whether or not to extend the contract was to be made after the Club World Cup. Eleven days after the final defeat against Chelsea (0-3), it is clear that no significant progress has been made on the issue. The trend does not look positive, even though the first discussions took place a year ago.
The main sticking point remains the conditions set by PSG. Currently, the Italian’s salary is estimated at €850,000 gross per month. Based on the model introduced by sporting advisor Luis Campos in 2022, the capital club has offered him a fixed salary and a variable component—based on the number of matches played, among other factors—which could represent up to a third of his income. This formula is considered unsuitable by the Italian international’s camp.
“The capital club says it is prepared for any eventuality. “
Discussions between Donnarumma’s camp and PSG are set to resume shortly, with the capital club saying it is prepared for any eventuality. The recruitment of a new goalkeeper and, by extension, Donnarumma’s departure—he is being targeted by Chelsea, among others—cannot be ruled out if no favorable outcome is found. “
Paris Saint-Germain now has a clear sporting project, marked in particular by a rigorous and controlled salary policy under the leadership of Luis Campos, sporting advisor since 2022. The club has put an end to past financial excesses by favoring contracts that combine a reasonable fixed salary with performance-related bonuses, ensuring economic balance.
This policy aims to stabilize the workforce while maintaining financial competitiveness, in line with the long-term vision of Campos, who recently extended his contract until 2030 with expanded responsibilities.
This exemplary salary strategy is part of a coherent framework in which PSG controls its spending while preparing for the future, strengthening the club’s stability and avoiding future tensions such as those previously encountered with certain high-profile players. This more structured approach has resulted in renewed harmony between the sporting management, coach Luis Enrique, and the ambitions of the QSI group, laying a solid foundation for PSG’s future development.
