Donnarumma sends an emotional farewell message to PSG | OneFootball

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract running until 2026, is at the center of rumors. His contract extension has not materialized and he has been asked to leave, as he was not included in the squad for the European Super Cup against Tottenham, following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, French national team) from Lille to replace him. While waiting to find out his next club, the Italian has published an emotional farewell message.

You can sense real frustration, even anger, regarding the decision for his departure. Moreover, he does not mention coach Luis Enrique for his decision, even though the latter fully took responsibility for it in the evening. There may be some elements we are still missing, but the situation is fairly clear.

The coach wanted a goalkeeper who fits his style of play even more, and the contract situation made it the right time to make a decision. Especially with Chevalier’s rise. This takes nothing away from Donnarumma’s story at PSG; he will forever remain the decisive goalkeeper of the club’s first Champions League victory. We also hope he will be able to return to the Parc des Princes for a proper farewell.
