The future of Gigio Donnarumma at PSG is no longer assured!

We anticipated it after PSG-Toulouse and it was confirmed in Munich. Gigio Donnarumma gave up his starting place to Matvey Safonov during the French club’s last two matches. Luis Enrique felt that with the Bavarian pressing, he needed a goalkeeper who was more secure in his kicking game. In this area, the difference between the Russian and the Italian was not obvious in Bavaria, however the hand fault of the former Krasnodar on the only goal of the match was clearly visible. A bad outing which ruins everything because, moreover, Safonov made some important saves.

“I chose to play Safonov to overcome Bayern’s pressure and generate an initial superiority on the restart. Defeats are always embarrassing and hurt, but they give me a lot of information and let me know where we are going in the future.”justified the former coach of La Roja. It remains to be seen whether the goalkeeper recruited for €20 million this summer is now number one over time in the mind of his coach, and how Donnarumma will cope with this new situation? One thing is certain, the Italian’s confidence in his coach has inevitably taken a hit.

PSG and Donnarumma have started negotiations for an extension

Internally, he is said to be morally damaged. Even if he is not the type to make waves and is a respected locker room executive, the questioning of his status comes at a delicate moment. For several weeks, he has been negotiating the extension of his contract with PSG, according to The Team. This one runs until 2026. Nothing has been decided yet but these last two matches are reshuffling the cards for his future, especially since he has never felt Luis Enrique and all of his staff completely behind him. him since their arrival in the summer of 2023.

Donnarumma remains a born competitor and, as at the time when competition was personified by Keylor Navas, he is not the type to accept fate. “It was not easy to live with, neither for him nor for me. At some point, we had to make a choice, him or me” he explained after the Costa Rican left. His situation also raises questions in Italy where he is still the captain of the selection. The composition of Luis Enrique against Nantes (Saturday, 9 p.m.) will be observed with great attention and we must also hope for the Iberian coach that he has not shot himself in the foot by banking on the competition of the two doormen.
