🚨 Transfer draws closer: Donnarumma already bidding farewell to fans | OneFootball

Is this his farewell? In a statement spread through his social media channels, Gianluigi Donnarumma has spoken out for the first time about the rumors of his departure. He expressed his disappointment at not being included in the Super Cup squad and no longer being part of the team.

"From the first day I arrived, I gave everything - on and off the pitch - to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain," wrote the Italian goalkeeper. Despite his efforts, "someone decided that I would no longer be part of the team and contribute to the team's success." This decision left him disappointed and sad.

The 26-year-old Donnarumma was particularly affected because he couldn't end his contact with the fans in a dignified manner: "I hope I get the chance to look the fans in the eye at the Parc des Princes one more time and say goodbye the way it should be." If this opportunity doesn't come, he emphasized: "Your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget them." The memories of "all the emotions, magical nights, and you, who made me feel at home," he will carry with him forever.

Alongside the fans, the goalkeeper also addressed his teammates, who are more than just teammates to him: "To my teammates - my second family - I thank you for every fight, every laugh, and every shared moment. You will always be my brothers." One of these "brothers," Ousmane Dembélé, has already shared Donnarumma's statement on Instagram.

For Donnarumma, it was a great honor to play for PSG: "Playing for this club and living in this city was a great honor."

The signs now point to a farewell. According to Fabrizio Romano, the PSG goalkeeper is moving to Manchester City in the Premier League. PSG has already signed his successor, Lucas Chevalier.
