There are those who want the Ballon d'Or to be theirs, those who assert without hesitation that they are the best in the world, and those who dream of a return to Italy. Gianluigi Donnarumma may not be the cover man of this PSG: Douรฉ took the scene in the final and Dembรฉlรฉ's statistics speak for themselves, but he was certainly the key man in the Champions League.
Paris Saint-Germain was about to exit at Liverpool, but the turning point came from his gloves. From the penalties at Anfield to the triumph at the Allianz Arena in Monaco: the first historic cup victory with the big ears passes through his saves. There are no doubts.
With the Treble in the trophy case, it's already time for Gigio's future. Will he renew with PSG? Will he return to Italy or will the Premier League welcome him? There are many questions and certainly no shortage of interested clubs. Let's get some order.
"If I stay at PSG? I don't know, let's see. Now there's the national team, with two important games for the World Cup". Donnarumma's words to Sky after the Champions League victory do not give certainty. The 5-0 win over Inter in the Monaco final achieved the dream for which Gigio had chosen to move to France four years ago. PSG is now the strongest team in the world, but it's not certain that the former Milan player will be part of it next season.
The contract with the Parisians will expire in June 2026, and the renewal is not that close. Donnarumma takes his time and evaluates what to do: the criticism in these years has been heavy, he has given everything, and throwing himself into a new experience is a concrete idea. On the other hand, the clubs interested in the '99 class are not few: the approaching deadline lowers the sale price, and the possibility of taking him for free in 12 months represents an opportunity for everyone.
About a month ago, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Enzo Raiola, Donnarumma's agent, would have met with Luis Campos to discuss the renewal. No progress has been made, but the request was clear: either Gigio will be satisfied or it will be goodbye.

The 10 million per season is no longer enough, but it's not all about money. The 26-year-old must feel at the center of PSG - protected in a certain sense - and the treatment he has received from the French press in all these years has not made him happy. This is the main reason why his experience in Paris is in the balance.
Gigio is looking for serenity, and many clubs in Europe are ready to guarantee it to him. Bayern Munich, despite the purchase of the young Urbig, is looking for a worthy heir to Neuer, and the same speech could be made for Real Madrid and Manchester City. Courtois will expire with the Blancos in 2026, and his future remains uncertain, while Ederson seems to have one foot out of Guardiola's court.
In short, the options for Donnarumma are certainly not lacking, but also keep an eye on Italy because Inter, always vigilant on the zero-parameter market, could make an attempt. Sommer has shown against Barcelona that he deserves the Nerazzurri goal, but age is advancing - he is 36 years old - and he is not eternal. Gigio would be the perfect substitute: the relationship between Marotta and Enzo Raiola could help, but everything will depend on the will of the goalkeeper. The Rossonero past cannot be erased...
