PSG transfer news – PSG: Tug of war continues with this Parisian stalwart

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract until 2026 (following the end of his at AC Milan), has been at the center of rumors in recent weeks. There are doubts about a renewal, despite the willingness shown by the Italian and his agent Enzo Raiola. L’Equipe asserts that discussions must resume very soon, but there is still a sticking point in the case between what PSG is offering and what the Italian's camp is asking for.

"The main sticking point still concerns the conditions set by PSG."

"Initially, the decision to extend or not was supposed to be made after the Club World Cup. Eleven days after the final lost against Chelsea (0-3), it is clear that the case has not made significant progress. The trend would not be positive as the first discussions date back to a year ago, already.

The main sticking point still concerns the conditions set by PSG. Currently, the Italian's emoluments are estimated at 850,000 € gross per month. Based on the model established by sports advisor Luis Campos since 2022, the capital club has offered him a fixed salary and a portion of variables - depending on the number of matches played, in particular - which can represent up to a third of his income. A formula deemed unsuitable by the camp of the Italian international..

"The capital club says it is prepared for any eventuality."

Discussions between the Donnarumma camp and PSG are due to resume soon as the capital club says it is prepared for any eventuality. The recruitment of a new goalkeeper and, by ricochet, a departure of Donnarumma – targeted notably by Chelsea – are not to be ruled out if no favorable outcome is found."

Paris Saint-Germain now displays a clear sporting project, marked notably by a rigorous and controlled wage policy under the direction of Luis Campos, sports advisor since 2022. The club has put an end to past financial excesses by favoring contracts combining a reasonable fixed salary and bonuses linked to performances, ensuring economic balance.

This policy aims to stabilize the squad while maintaining financial competitiveness, in accordance with the long-term vision carried by Campos, recently extended until 2030 with expanded responsibilities.

This exemplary wage strategy fits into a coherent framework where PSG controls its expenses while preparing for the future, strengthening the stability of the club and avoiding later tensions like those previously encountered with some prestigious players. This more structured approach results in a regained harmony between the sports management, coach Luis Enrique, and the ambitions of the QSI group, laying a solid foundation for PSG's future development.
