Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract until 2026 (following the end of his contract at AC Milan), is at the heart of the rumors. His contract extension hasn’t materialized, and there’s talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23, Lille and French national team) set to replace him. This Monday, journalist Sacha Tavolieri announced a departure that will be finalized at a meeting.
“A meeting will be held this week to finalize Gianluigi Donnarumma’s departure. Paris Saint-Germain will not hinder him and has opened the door to negotiations with a foreign club. Chelsea FC and Galatasaray are among the most interested.”
A rather credible statement, since many media outlets are claiming that Chevalier is very close to joining PSG. This is consistent with Donnarumma’s departure. There has been talk of a meeting this week, more likely for final negotiations regarding an extension. But it could also be to move toward a departure and explore possible exit options.
Let’s wait for certainty. Rumors are multiplying, a trend is clearly emerging, but there has been no official confirmation. A twist remains possible.
