Several media persons have raised their eyebrows in disbelief as Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma might leave PSG in the coming weeks. In shocking news, PSG are seriously considering the release of their star goalkeeper ahead of the new season. The French club has started negotiations with LOSC Lille shot stopper Lucas Chevalier. The club considers him the next big thing in French football. But no one would have imagined that PSG would not think twice about selling one of the best goalkeepers in the world. With the outbreak of this transfer news, a number of big clubs have already made the first step in getting the Italian international. But Donnarumma is in no rush. He will patiently wait for an appropriate offer, and only then will he decide his future.
PSG’s Sudden Decision on Gianluigi Donnarumma
When Donnarumma left his parent club AC Milan to join PSG back in 2021, the Milan fans were furious with his decision. But that backlash never really hampered Donnarumma’s career graph. In contrast, AC Milan’s performance took a huge downfall and Donnarumma cemented his place at PSG, replacing another all-time legend Gianluigi Buffon. After years of bottling, PSG have finally clicked under former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique. PSG won almost every possible trophy including their elusive UEFA Champions League title. The football fans will long remember the heroics of Donnarumma against Liverpool in the knockout tie. PSG could have completed a fairytale ending to this season until they met Chelsea. After getting thrashed by the Blues, it is reported that Luis Enrique does not want Donnarumma anymore in his system. After spending some fruitful seasons, why did PSG make this surprising call on Donnarumma? The 26-year-old footballer is about to enter his last year of the contract. According to reports, Donnarumma also didn’t expect this. But he is still committed towards PSG. But his agents find it utterly disrespectful if Donnarumma has to fight for his chances at the club. They are already looking for the player’s next destination. Saudi clubs are also closely monitoring the situation.
Are Chelsea after the Italian Custodian?
Fans cannot wait any longer for the start of the new English Premier League season. After years, several clubs are the potential title contenders. Having won the FIFA Club World Cup recently, Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are eyeing redemption. The Blues have already made some bold signings. With Xavi Simons and Jorrel Hato on the line, Chelsea still have one vulnerable position to sort out. Since the departure of Mendy to the Saudi League, Chelsea haven’t found a solid goalkeeper. Kepa Arrizabalaga has already switched to Arsenal. Although Roberto Sanchez played well in the Club World Cup (especially in the final), Chelsea cannot rely a whole season solely on him. Exciting news had come out in early July that Chelsea have shortlisted Donnarumma as their solution in the goalkeeping position. But that seems to be unlikely now. According to the latest updates, Chelsea have moved out of the race. Earlier, the club failed to seal the deal for Maignan from AC Milan. This time, the fans really hoped that Donnarumma would land at the Stamford Bridge. As it stands, there are low possibilities that Chelsea will sign any new goalkeeper this summer. This might hurt them.
Author’s Note: What’s Next for Donnarumma?
As it stands, Gianluigi Donnarumma is still a PSG footballer. But his departure is imminent. Out of the blue, Manchester United have shown genuine interest in buying the Italian goalkeeper. With noisy neighbours, Manchester City, also in the fray, the Red Devils have made certain advancements to the deal. If everything goes well, Donnarumma might head towards Old Trafford.
