In 2021, Gianluigi Donnarumma chose to leave Milan free to join PSG. The Parisians quickly rewarded him, favoring him over Keylor Navas in particular. However, the Italian goalkeeper's agent disturbs the harmony of the duo.
With Gianluigi Donnarumma, Paris SG made a very interesting bet for the future in 2021. The Parisian club had convinced the Italian goalkeeper to leave AC Milan free. The goalkeeper was then 22 years old and had just won a huge Euro with Italy. He was also voted best player of the tournament. Often criticized and sometimes rightly for his mistakes, Donnarumma still pushed Keylor Navas towards the exit. His future at PSG seems to be long-term, especially since his contract runs until 2026 and he is supposed to extend it in the coming weeks.
Donnarumma back in Italy?
Nevertheless, Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent came to throw a chill at PSG. Enzo Raiola, cousin of Mino Raiola whom he succeeded in managing the goalkeeper's career, was interviewed by Radio Sportiva in Italy. He announced that his client's extension in Paris was far from certain. “ His contract runs until 2026. We are in a phase of reflection on certain contractual aspects. Everything is on standby for the moment. In negotiations like these, anything can happen. We cannot predict how things will develop in the coming months “, he blurted out.
A bit of pressure for the Parisian management with perhaps a little idea in mind. The Raiola clan does not rule out a return of Donnarumma to Italy in the near future. “ You should never say never when you come back to Italy. You never know what might happen in the future. For now, there's still a lot to accomplish this season, and we'll keep everyone updated as it goes », indicated Enzo Raiola. PSG is warned, it will have to be generous financially to maintain one of the pillars of its project.
