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 extension is not forthcoming, and there is talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23, Lille and French national team) set to replace him. L’Equipe reported this Wednesday that it is at least clear to PSG that there will be no competition.
“We are also trying to manage the situation of Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian goalkeeper, who left in early June, is still there, and Paris does not want to have to manage two number 1 goalkeepers. Unlike Zabarni, Chevalier has been very calm in recent days. In training and in matches, the goalkeeper has displayed a big smile and a certain calmness. »
We remain cautious; this situation is generating numerous rumors, and it’s difficult to sort out fact from fiction. Some media outlets claim that competition is possible, others that it’s not. Each position has its advantages and disadvantages. Above all, none is certain without an official announcement.
Moreover, Chevalier is not currently at PSG, and Donnarumma could still extend his contract. This hasn’t been ruled out by any statements from PSG or the Italian. So let’s wait and see for certainty.
