Club: Donnarumma: “My priority is to extend at PSG”

Contested in the first part of the season and put in competition by Matvey Safonov, Gianluigi Donnarumma was up to the task on Wednesday evening against Manchester City, making more decisive saves, in addition to being good in his kicking and d 'to be authoritarian in the air, which has not always been the case with him.

At the end of PSG's beautiful and important 4-2 victory, the Italian goalkeeper stopped at the microphone of Sky Italia to share his joy: “I feel great emotions this evening, because when you concede two goals like that in the second half, there is a risk of giving up but the team was very good. I would also like to salute our supporters, who have always supported us and given us an extra boost. »

“The truth is that I am happy here and that everyone loves and esteems me”

Gianluigi Donnarumma was also questioned by the Italian channel about his duel against Erling Haaland: “It’s the first time I faced him and I must say that he’s a beast, a real champion,” admitted the Parisian goalkeeper. He is really strong and I wish him good luck, he will be at the top for many years. »

Above all, Donnarumma was questioned about his future. His contract expires in 2026 and negotiations with PSG for an extension have been on hold for several weeks. As it leaked at the end of December in L'Equipe, the Italian goalkeeper however has a priority and it is clear: “There are so many rumors, the truth is that I am happy here and everyone loves and respects me. I am very good, I have settled in and my priority is to continue here”.

Recently, Donnarumma was announced in the sights of Inter Milan for this summer. A rumor cooled on Wednesday evening by the sporting director of the Italian club, Piero Ausilio: “Donnarumma?” We're looking at the June market, but I'll be honest, the goaltending role is not our priority. We have two very strong goalkeepers. This goes beyond esteem for Donnarumma. Today, the goalkeeper is not the priority, we look elsewhere.”
