Rather rare in the media, Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent Enzo Raiola gave a complete update on the goalkeeper's situation. He notably returned to his time on the goalkeeper's bench, as well as his future, not necessarily in Paris in the long term.
Gianluigi Donnarumma's last weeks have been very lively, culminating in this terrible clash with Singo's crampons on Wednesday evening in Monaco. The year 2024 is over for the PSG goalkeeper, even if he should not have any after-effects from this huge shock in the medium term, and his agent Enzo Raiola was on an Italian sports radio this Friday, giving a complete update on the situation of the 25-year-old doorman.
“We are in a stand-by phase”
After regretting the absence of sanction from the referee and reassuring about the state of health of the goalkeeper, the agent, nephew of the late Mino, raised subjects such as the long-term future of the player: “If we talk about the contract, it expires in 2026. We are seeing, there is currently a moment of pause to reflect on certain contractual aspects, we will see if there will be white smoke in the coming months. Today, everything is up in the air, and anything can happen during the negotiations, we do not make predictions. We are in a stand-by phase. »
The press had revealed this freezing of negotiations between PSG and Donnarumma concerning its extension, which the agent therefore confirms. Relaunched on a possible return to Italy in the future, Inter Milan and Naples having notably been cited by the Italian press as possibly interested, but the agent rather moderated this idea in the short term: “You should never say never, you never know what can happen and we will see in the years to come. There's still a lot to do this season, and we'll keep you posted (for the future). »
The Donnarumma episode on the bench explained
“The truth is that Gigio came back with the flu and that could have had an influence”
But Enzo Raiola also returned to Donnarumma's replacement status in Munich recently and clarified the situation: “He returned from the match against France with the flu, which he had caught two days earlier. He returned to Paris with it, then Luis Enrique made choices that we respect (Editor's note: Safonov played against Lens then in Munich). The truth is that Gigio came back with the flu and that may have had an influence but overall we are moving forward. Now there are still Champions League matches to play and we are making good progress in the league. »
Since this Munich/PSG, Donnarumma has become a starter again and he played in a series of games, until meeting Singo on Wednesday evening.
