Very close to extending his contract at PSG a few weeks ago, Gianluigi Donnarumma is no longer planning to sign a new short-term lease. The fault lies in a big financial problem between the two parties.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is going through a complicated period at Paris Saint-Germain and this is not only the consequence of the violent blow to the face suffered against AS Monaco on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Italian goalkeeper was called into question by Luis Enrique and it greatly affected him. The Team reveals in particular that the former AC Milan goalkeeper had a very bad time being sidelined for the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich. Replacing Matvey Safonov on November 26, Gianluigi Donnarumma suddenly began to doubt his future in the French capital, in the midst of negotiations to extend his contract, which expires in June 2026. His agent also sowed trouble in recent hours.
“His contract ends in 2026, we are in a moment of reflection on certain contractual aspects. We will see in the coming months if there is white smoke. But for the moment everything is on hold” said Enzo Raiola at the microphone of Radio Sportiva. What is really going on with the negotiations between Paris Saint-Germain and the experienced goalkeeper of the Italian selection? The Team carried out its investigation and for the site of the national daily, there is indeed a common desire to continue the adventure between PSG on one side and Donnarumma on the other. Despite the recent turmoil, the goalkeeper feels good in Paris and wants to stay.
PSG wants to extend Donnarumma, but…
Influential and appreciated in the locker room, he has an important role despite the few errors which have weakened him since the start of the season. For its part, Paris SG never really wanted to replace Donnarumma according to our colleague José Barroso, who writes that the recruitment of Safonov was rather a way for PSG to boost Donnarumma rather than to replace him. So why are the negotiations for the extension of his contract on hold? The reason is above all financial.
At Paris Saint-Germain, we would like to extend Gianluigi Donnarumma, but for a salary quite significantly lower than the 10 million euros per year currently received by the Italian European champion. Luis Campos has imposed contracts with a variable salary share depending on the matches on all players who have signed for PSG since 2022 and this is today what is being offered to Donnarumma. The former Milanese is not ready to sacrifice his important salary so easily. The crux of the problem is therefore indeed financial before being sporting between the two parties and Luis Campos will quickly have to find a solution if he does not want to find himself next summer with a goalkeeper at the end of his contract twelve months later. late on the arms.
