PSG: Gianluigi Donnarumma is in the hot seat

This Saturday at the start of the afternoon, Luis Enrique will be in front of the press on the eve of the match against OGC Nice, in Ligue 1. But the Spaniard is especially likely to mention Tuesday evening’s defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League (2-0). Indeed, he will be questioned again about his surprising choices as well as the absence of Ousmane Dembélé or the Gianluigi Donnarumma case. Guilty of the two goals conceded by his team in London, the 25-year-old Italian goalkeeper is more than ever at the center of criticism.

Gigio is criticized from all sides

This Friday again, several French media are pointing the finger at Gigio, rather good in Ligue 1 and sometimes out of his depth in the Champions League. This is the case with the newspaper The Parisianwho interviewed the capital club’s former goalkeeper, Jérôme Alonzo, to try to understand the Italian international’s problems. “ He takes too long to decide and therefore, often, he is in between and that causes this meter of delay on arrival. This means that he is poorly placed at the start, so there is a technical problem in the decision-making: he is too often between “I’m going” and “I’m not going.” ” »

On the side of The Teamwe questioned Donnarumma’s position and the fact that he could lose his starting place. The sports daily explains that his poor performance at the Emirates Stadium brought back doubts about him in the minds of the French club. Since his arrival from AC Milan, he has never really managed to achieve unanimous support, he who has made some mistakes, particularly on the European scene. The mistakes made on Tuesday evening could therefore cost him dearly.

His case shakes PSG

Especially since the PSG staff is ready to bring the competition into play and does not rule out any option in the cages. The Team recalls that Matveï Safonov arrived this summer with the desire to shake up the hierarchy and therefore Gigio. But the Russian did not impress Lucho and his teams during his first outings in the Ile-de-France jersey. The staff still appreciates the profile of Arnau Tenas, who could also have his say. But for the moment, Donnarumma remains and remains number 1 in Paris. A club with which discussions concerning its extension are no further advanced.

Recently, Enzo Raiola, the footballer’s agent under contract until 2026, gave an update on his future during an interview given to Tuttosport. “ He wants to stay at PSG and there have already been the first discussions to extend the contract. He could become a Paris legend. » To achieve this, he will have to raise his level during his club’s crucial meetings and avoid penalizing mistakes for his team. Gianluigi Donnarumma knows what he has to do to become a legend at PSG.
