Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique explained to Sky Italia the “shocking” decision to drop Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper whose contract with PSG expires in 2026.
“I am 100% responsible. “
“He is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he is even better as a person. But that’s the life of top-level players, and I am 100% responsible for this difficult decision. This decision is related to the type of goalkeeper my team needs,”
Far from mentioning the contractual situation, Luis Enrique is taking the lead and focusing on the athlete, with his philosophy of play. Some will undoubtedly get angry and criticize him, especially after PSG’s next defeat. But the Spaniard is consistent in his ideas and makes choices. He takes full responsibility for his position. This led PSG to a historic season last year. This does not mean that everything will always work out, but at least we can be sure that he does not make random choices.
It’s tough for Donnarumma, but the page is turning. And he will undoubtedly find a great next chapter. Manchester City has been mentioned in recent hours.
