In July 2021, when Paris Saint-Germain signed Gianluigi Donnarumma, free, we thought the subject of goalkeepers for the capital club was definitively closed. But although he is renowned as being one of the best goalkeepers in the world on his line, the Italian was the author of some fatal incidents for the French team.
PSG has been targeting Thibaut Courtois for a long time
Could the capital club then embark on the recruitment of a new goalkeeper? This still seems quite hard to imagine with the recent signing of Matvey Safonov and while PSG and Donnarumma are discussing a contract extension. But the Spanish media, Defensa Central, evokes a crazy path for Paris.
PSG would be interested in one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper has been in the sights of the French club for several years. The latter, who is starting to get tired of Gianluigi Donnarumma's errors, could take action next summer with an important offer to dislodge the 32-year-old player from Real Madrid.
Courtois wants to stay at Real Madrid but…
The club from the French capital would thus benefit from the contractual situation of the Belgian, who will then be one year from the end of his contract with the Merengues. Aware of this possible situation, the Spanish giant is already working on renewing its doorman. And, for now, there would be no doubt that Thibaut Courtois wants to stay at Real Madrid.
But if he cannot reach an agreement with Real for a contract extension, the offer from PSG next summer could potentially make him change his mind. The Spanish media indicates that Doha is ready to almost double his salary for him to arrive in the French capital. An offer that could be difficult to refuse, when he will be 33 years old.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
