Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 on a contract running until 2026 (after his deal with AC Milan ended), is at the center of growing transfer rumors. His contract extension has not materialized, and talk of a potential departure is gaining traction — with Lucas Chevalier (23, Lille and the French national team) identified as his possible replacement. RMC Sport provided an update on Thursday.
Uncertainty surrounding Donnarumma
“PSG are simultaneously working on signing Lucas Chevalier. Negotiations are ongoing with Lille. The French national team’s backup goalkeeper wants to join Paris, and has already reached a five-year agreement with the club. Luis Enrique’s plan is to make him his No.1.
This would push Gianluigi Donnarumma toward the exit. But for that to happen, he would need to find a project that matches his level, with a significant salary, before agreeing to leave an environment where he currently feels comfortable. On top of that, he is well-liked by his teammates.
If he stays and Chevalier arrives, he would likely be demoted to second-choice. A situation that could become difficult to manage.”
Caution is still warranted — the rumors continue to pile up without any official confirmation. At this stage, anything remains possible. Especially since the reports are starting to contradict each other: Donnarumma is supposedly set to leave, then not. A competition is expected, but the hierarchy is allegedly already determined. Meanwhile, Chevalier’s arrival is still unconfirmed, as is the idea that Donnarumma won’t extend his contract.
Let’s hope something concrete emerges soon to clarify the situation. These constant rumors are becoming tiring — especially as they only add to the confusion.
