Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent casts a huge shadow over his future at PSG

Gianluigi Donnarumma's contract may expire in a year and a half, but his future is already a subject on the Paris side. Since his arrival in the summer of 2021, the Italian international has often blown hot and cold, and this irregularity has sometimes cost him his place, as in this first part of the season where Luis Enrique was able to prefer Matvey.

Lately, the newspaper The Team explained that Paris preferred to wait until the end of the season before deciding on the future of its player, whose status is now in question. For his part, Donnarumma would question the esteem held by the club towards him, he who, at certain times, had the feeling of being treated like an average player. Recently, his sidelining against Bayern Munich had also affected him, we learned in the columns of the French daily.

There are no discussions with Paris today

This Friday, his agent Enzo Raiola, cousin of the late Mino, spoke in an interview with Italian radio Sports Radio. He first bounced back on the news of the moment, namely the huge clash between his player and Wilfried Singo during Monaco – PSG on Wednesday. The opportunity to reassure Donnarumma’s state of health: “I was present at the match, it was in Monaco where I live. It was a shock to see him live. Everyone saw the blow to his face and immediately thought of something worse. Fortunately, according to the tests carried out in recent days and again today, things are better… there was a lot of fear, the mistake was horrible because it touched the eyes. These are mistakes that we see in the lower categories, it’s really strange to see that in Ligue 1”he lamented.

He obviously did not avoid the other major theme of the moment either, in this case the future of his player. “A long-term vision in France? If we talk about a contract: no, since it expires in 2026he recalled. We will see, currently, there is a pause to think about certain aspects of the contract, and we will see if there is any white smoke in the months to come. But today everything is on hold, anything can happen during the negotiation phase, we have no forecasts. We are in stand-by phase. If it is possible for him to return to Italy? You should never say never. Nothing can be excluded, we will see in the coming years. But today let's think about this season, then we'll think about it.” A small way to put pressure on PSG? Probably.
