Mercato PSG: Gianluigi Donnarumma has decided for his future!

“A long-term vision in France? If we talk about a contract: no, since it expires in 2026. We will see, currently, there is a pause to think about certain aspects of the contract, and we will see if there is white smoke in the months to come . But today everything is on hold, anything can happen during the negotiation phase, we have no forecasts. We are in stand-by phase. If it is possible for him to return to Italy? You should never say never. Nothing can be excluded, we will see in the coming years. But today, let’s think about this season, and then we’ll think about it.”. Here is what Enzo Raiola, cousin of the late Mino, recently said about the future of Gianluigi Donnarumma in the French capital.

Interviewed by Italian radio Radio Sportivathe representative of the transalpine international (70 caps) had thus cast a huge chill on the future of his protégé under the Parisian tunic. Yes but here it is, if the discussions around a possible extension are, today, on standby, the 1m96 right-hander – victim of a violent sole from Wilfried Singo on Wednesday in Monaco (4-2) and already forfeited for the trip to Lens this Sunday as part of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France – would have already made his choice for the rest of his career.

The new contract, a sticking point

Thus, in today’s edition, The Team affirms that the native of Castellammare di Stabia has every intention of continuing in the jersey of the reigning French champions, at least for the time being. The daily specifies, in this respect, that the player feels good in Paris and that he remains an essential element of the Parisian locker room. From then on, despite a status called into question and the presence of Matvey Safonov, the number 1 of PSG, indisputable holder since the defeat at Bayern, seems determined to continue his adventure in France. A desire shared by the Parisian board despite a few missed meetings (against Real Madrid in 2022, Bayern Munich in 2023 or even Barça and Arsenal in 2024).

However, The Team also adds that PSG does not intend to extend its player under the same conditions while the contract of the former Milanese, signed in 2021, is one of the last of “the older generation”. A point which would explain, today, the difficulties of the different parties in finding common ground. As a reminder, since 2022, Luis Campos has imposed in the signed contract – whether it is a recruit or an extension – a variable share of salary depending on the number of matches played, which can represent up to one third of the income. A formula which is now proposed to Donnarumma and which would therefore distance it from its current advantages, namely emoluments of €10M per year, slightly increased each off-season. If the Transalpine has therefore made its choice, it will now be necessary to come to an agreement with the management of PSG…
