Gianluigi Donnarumma has confirmed that his farewell to FC Paris Saint-Germain is imminent. After the 26-year-old was not nominated against Tottenham Hotspur for the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday evening, the goalkeeper, who had made a significant contribution to winning the Champions League three months ago, said goodbye. Now it goes to the Premier League.
“From the first day of my arrival I gave everything-on and next to the square-to earn my place and defend my goal from Paris Saint-Germain. Unfortunately, someone decided that I can no longer be part of the team and contribute to the success of the team. I am disappointed and depressed,” wrote Donnarumma on his social media channels.
Instead of Donnarumma, Lucas Chevalier, who was signed by Losc Lille for 40 million euros, is said to be the new number one between the posts. Coach Luis Enrique said on Tuesday: “I wanted a different kind of goalkeeper and I made this decision. Nevertheless, Donnarumma is one of the best keepers in the world.” According to agreed media reports, the contractual situation is a thorn in the eye of the PSG managers. In 2026 the contract of the former Milan talent ends and discussions about an extension remained unsuccessful.
“I hope that I have the opportunity to look at the Fans in the Parc of the Princes again and to say goodbye to me,” Donnarumma continued, knowing that a new club must first be found. “If this is not possible, I would like to let you know that your support and affection will mean a lot and I will never forget it. I will always wear the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights and you who have given me the feeling of being at home at home.”
Manchester City currently has the best chance of an obligation. On Tuesday, a contact of the Skyblues with Donnarumma and PSG was reported. Previously there had also been loose rumors about Manchester United, the Chelsea and Galatasaray FC. Pep Guardiola is considered the fan of the keeper and would like to have him in the club, although this summer James Trafford was hired for EUR 31.2 million by buying a buyback option from FC Burnley. Ederson’s time seems to have finally expired.
