At Paris Saint-Germain, he was no longer desired under Luis Enrique, at Manchester City and Pep Guardiola the place between the posts: Gianluigi Donnarumma spoke at his first press conference as a Skyblues professional about his unsightly exit from France and his project in the Premier League, which he was very positive looks against.
“I was looking forward to going to City because they really wanted me. To be desired by such a renowned club like City, makes me proud, and to be desired by one of the best coaches in the world is an indescribable feeling,” the 26-year-old Italian is quoted by “L’équipe”.
After “four wonderful years”, Donnarumma had to pack the suitcases because PSG wanted to establish a different style in the goal and presented a new number one for 40 million euros from Lille with Lucas Chevalier (23). Donnarga’s transfer took place shortly before the transfer is made for a transfer fee of 30 million plus 5 million euros in bonuses. He is the successor to Fenerbahce, who was switched to Fenerbahce on Monday. The ten-time English champion had already signed two new goalkeepers with James Trafford from FC Burnley and Marcus Bettinelli from FC Chelsea this summer-EUR 31.2 million flowed for the 22-year-old Trafford. Trafford should lose its place to Donnarumma.
When asked about his degradation under Luis Enrique in Paris, Donnarumma held back. “I always had an excellent relationship with him. He was directly to me from the first few days of the training camp. Am I disappointed? I don’t know … everyone makes their own decisions,” the keeper commented and also adhered to the background. “I don’t know why and I don’t want to know. The coach has the decision -making power. But the support of everyone, especially my teammates, has shown what I bring PSG, and I think that’s the most important thing.”
Donnarumma was and becomes critical for his skills on the ball. “I always try to help the team and meet the requirements of the coach. I do everything,” said the goalkeeper according to “ESPN”. You can always improve in everything. “I am sure that we will do a great job with Guardiola.” Donnarumma said about some mistakes in the past: “Since I started playing at the age of 16, I have always done great things. Errors always happen. But I think I have achieved great things.” In Paris, the Italian national goalkeeper collected four championships and recently won the Champions League. With the Squadra Azzurra, he became European champion in 2021. In Manchester, Donnarumma signed in the long term until 2030.
