Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who arrived at 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 extension is not forthcoming and there is talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, French national team) arriving from Lille to replace him. Romain Beddouk claims that the player was warned of the deadline (end of July) to sign a new contract. He has not been taken on.
“The Donnarumma clan was warned well before the start of the transfer window.
If his contractual situation was not resolved by the end of July, a replacement would be found and he would be asked to leave.
It’s cold, it’s very cold, but the clan made its choice and is not being taken by surprise.”
We’ll inevitably hear different opinions, but it’s true that PSG has become uncompromising over time. It’s worth noting, however, that Donnarumma was quickly sidelined after Chevalier’s arrival, proof that the club knows what it’s doing.
Most of the Parisian players whose contracts were expiring had extended their contracts during the season; only Donnarumma hadn’t. The club is now paying attention after the cases of Mbappé and others.
