Transfer news: Donnarumma to meet PSG, top priority revealed

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract running until 2026 (after his contract with AC Milan ended), is at the center of rumors. His contract extension has not materialized, and there is talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, Lille and the French National Team) being considered as his replacement. Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio provided an update on Sky Sport Italia.

“Donnarumma and his entourage will meet with the French club upon his return from vacation”

“Gianluigi Donnarumma has made Paris Saint-Germain his priority. Although the parties have not yet reached an agreement on extending his contract, the captain of the Italian national team and his entourage will meet with the French club upon his return from vacation, scheduled for early August.

The goalkeeper’s intention is to understand whether the conditions will be met to renew his contract. If this does not happen, there will be two options: stay one more year and leave for free in June 2026, or immediately find another team.

“While waiting to know Donnarumma’s future, PSG is preparing to acquire another goalkeeper.”

For the past few hours, Paris Saint-Germain has been trying to finalize a deal for Lucas Chevalier, a player from Lille. Negotiations between the clubs are at an advanced stage, and a final agreement around 40 million euros could be reached soon. While waiting to know Donnarumma’s future, PSG is preparing to acquire another goalkeeper.”

Donnarumma could leave, while PSG is preparing for a possible replacement. That makes sense. The Parisian club cannot afford to find itself in difficulty so close to the start of the competition. But the journalist highlights an essential point. Others have done so as well, while some seem to forget it: the discussion between Italy and Paris is not over.

The negotiations have not progressed as one might have hoped, except that there is nothing concrete about a definitive breakdown. There are mainly holidays and a silence that leads to media frenzy. Let’s wait for certainties before jumping to conclusions and “judgment” (some are already criticizing PSG).

Let’s not forget that the transfer market is never certain without an official announcement and that twists and turns can happen quickly.
