🚨 Donnarumma says goodbye on social media: I was pushed out at PSG | OneFootball

The Donnarumma case is hot and is enriched - in the evening - by a sensational plot twist.

His exclusion from the PSG call-ups for the European Super Cup on Wednesday, August 13th in Udine has sparked questions from the media towards Luis Enrique, who practically dumped him. Gigio decided to speak out on social media, effectively bidding farewell to the club.

🚨 Donnarumma bids farewell to PSG: "Disappointed and bitter"

"Special fans of Paris, from the first day I arrived, I gave everything I had, inside and outside the field, to earn my place and proudly defend the Paris Saint-Germain goal. Unfortunately, someone has decided that I will no longer be part of this group and contribute to the team's success. It's a decision that leaves me disappointed and bitter. I hope to have the opportunity to look into the eyes of the fans at the Parc des Princes and greet you as you deserve. If that doesn't happen, I want you to know that your support and affection have meant the world to me and I will never forget them. I will always carry the memory of the emotions experienced, the magical nights, and you, who made me feel at home. To my teammates - my second family - thank you for every battle, every smile, and every shared moment. You will always be my brothers. Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honor for me. Thank you, Paris".

🧨 Luis Enrique: "I want a goalkeeper of a different profile"

Before the goalkeeper's post, in an interview with Sky Sport, PSG coach Luis Enrique explained the decision: "Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, no doubt, and an even better person. This is the life of top-level footballers, I am 100% responsible for this difficult decision. If it were easy, anyone would do it, these decisions have to do with the profile of the goalkeeper that my team needs“.

He then added: “It's clear that we're all responsible for achieving what we did last season. The players had to make sacrifices, last year no one believed in us, while this year is a big challenge to prove that we can still win“.

🗣 Marquinhos: "I don't know what happened"

Before Luis Enrique, PSG captain Marquinhos also commented on the situation: “We know how football is, especially during the transfer market, it's a bit difficult. He was a great player for us, he deserves the best in his life. Great person and great man, he respected this club a lot, but football is like that and sometimes we can't do much. We don't know what happened in the discussion. I've been here for 12/13 years and I've lived through many moments like this: friends who arrive and friends who leave. If Gigio leaves or stays, we're here open to receiving him in the best way".
