Transfer news: Donnarumma stays at PSG, Luis Enrique picks Chevalier

Gianluigi Donnarumma, a 26-year-old goalkeeper who arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract until 2026 (following the end of his contract at AC Milan), is at the center of rumors. His extension is not coming and there is talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, Lille and French national team) to replace him. RMC Sport provides an update on Thursday.

The uncertainty surrounding Donnarumma.

“PSG is working in parallel on the recruitment of Lucas Chevalier. Negotiations are also underway with Lille. The French national team's backup goalkeeper wants to join Paris, with whom he has already agreed on a five-year contract. Luis Enrique's idea is to make him his number one. This could push Gianluigi Donnarumma towards the exit. But he will have to find a challenge that matches his level, with a substantial salary, for him to accept leaving an environment where he feels good. Especially since he is highly appreciated by his teammates. If he stays and Chevalier arrives, he should be relegated to number two. A situation that could become difficult to manage.”

We remain cautious, as rumors are piling up without any official confirmation. So, everything is still possible. Especially since the statements are now going in all directions. Donnarumma should leave, finally not. There would be competition, but a hierarchy already chosen. All this while Chevalier's arrival is not confirmed, as well as the impossibility for the Italian to extend his contract.

Let's hope that there will be something concrete soon to clarify the situation. The rumors are becoming tiresome, especially when they maintain uncertainty.
