The blue goalkeeper saves Luis Enrique against Arsenal: he has a contract until 2026 and says he wants to stay but the premier …
Superlative again, decisive again, indispensable again. Yet, the future of Gianluigi Donnarumma is not so obvious. In fact, the PSG goalkeeper contract expires in 14 months and for the moment the renewal remains hypothetical. Even if the power relationships have now overturned, given that the perplexities of media and clubs have been swept away by the countless high -ranking performances of the blue, increasingly master of its destiny. Because, after all, a goalkeeper so throat to many.

Even today, however, Donnarumma collects handfuls of 8 on the report cup. From Le Parisienwho for months tarded him with fierce criticisms, to Figaro who enhances Salvatore’s qualities. And also on the team that dedicates an ad personam space to him in the newspaper, including “Gigio III, King of England”. But beyond the nobiliar-heartistic title, which enhances “the angel of the poles”, the sports newspaper draws attention to the contractual situation of the 26-year-old. Inevitable, given that in a few months, Donnarumma has created a sort of “personal Remontada”. And not only from the game missed badly in the first phase of the Champions League (2-0) with Arsenal, but it could be said since 2022 and the famous comeback suffered to Bernabeu, when he was attributed every fault for early elimination to the round of 16. As moreover, the following year with Bayern Munich or again this year after 0-1 with Liverpool, a peak of media criticisms.

Gigio has never broken down much and he took care of the point, silenced anyone who questioned those skills that are actually appreciated around Europe. And so, the question of renewal returns. In fact, the negotiation opened ten months ago, with the idea of finding the terms of an agreement over 2026. But after the first ritual exchanges, the dialogue entered the hibernation, finding a rock on the new set of the wage grid, between fixed percentages and variables on the estimated engagement of around 12 million, bonuses included. In short, the PSG, beyond the new salary policy, seems to have wanted to test the former Rossoneri. It is no coincidence that the media campaigns began to push Safonov’s candidacy, which cost 20 million euros in summer. And when the Russian proved to be inadequate, as much as the Catalan Tenas last year, the promotion to the possible substitute for Chevalier, brilliant with lilac and above all of a French passport, was sprouted.

In short, a maneuver that could have easily destabilized anyone. Non Donnarumma which has maintained concentration and determination. Not so much to demonstrate its value, but to confirm itself more and more indispensable. Like precisely yesterday again at the Emrates with five parades: the highest number ever recorded by a PSG goalkeeper in a game of elimination of the Champions League, and without conceding a goal, for at least 21 years here. Gigio slammed the door in the face of both Martinelli and toxard, as he had done with Rashsford or Asensio of the Aston Villa, after hypnotized the liverpool penalties of penalties. All in front of the audience of the Premier League, where there is no shortage of admirers and means to bring it from that part of the sleeve.
rhetoric

“This morning – writes the team, putting his hands forward with a little delay -, the question of the future of Donnarumma no longer arises. Which sports director would not extend the contract of a player who has dragged his team in this way in the last four months?”. The answer is rhetoric: “Nobody”, adds the team not even two months after Cje the Parisien newsletter who officially asked “Voltor page” and to “find a new goalkeeper”. The team makes an update on the negotiation, suddenly reopened: “The discussions between the two parts are considered positive, if not very positive by some sources. Enough to make the Parisian fans live other sweet nights with Gigio between the posts”. But even if Donnarumma has been saying for months that he would like to stay in Paris for a long time, the premier teases him.
