‘Perfect’, Dommage given a heartfelt tribute in Paris | OneFootball

Warren Zaïre-Emery, the 19-year-old midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain, stopped in the mixed zone after the 1-0 victory against Angers (video highlights PSG/Angers) this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 2nd matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. He was asked to comment on the departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma (26-year-old goalkeeper).

Negative words would be very poorly received, but there is no reason to think that Zaïre-Emery is not being honest here. Donnarumma has often been described as highly appreciated by the group, and his qualities as a goalkeeper are clear. As are his flaws, in terms of involvement in the play, which led coach Luis Enrique to bet on Lucas Chevalier (23 years old).

It’s a strong decision, of course unpleasant for Donnarumma. But that’s part of top-level sport. This does not prevent the Italian from maintaining an excellent relationship with his PSG teammates. However, seeing him stay would still be problematic for the overall atmosphere and the inevitable media stir it would cause. A move to Manchester City seems to be taking shape; let’s hope for everyone’s sake that it can be finalized.
