Italian goalkeeper, European football champion Gianluigi Donnarumma cannot renew his contract with the French “PSG” due to the fact that his position in the club changed after the transfer of the Russian goalkeeper Matveya Safonov reports L’Equipe.
On Tuesday, PSG lost against Bayern in the general phase match of the Champions League (0-1). The French team’s goal was defended by Safonov.
Donnarumma’s contract with PSG runs until June 2026. Discussions over the terms of the new deal began several weeks ago, but, as the source notes, the situation could change as the Italian has not the full confidence of the team’s head coach, Luis Enrique. In addition, Donnarumma does not wish to share the status of first goalkeeper of PSG with another goalkeeper. If the rotation in this position continues in the coming weeks and the Italian goalkeeper misses other important team matches, then his contract extension will be called into question.
Donnarumma is 25 years old and joined PSG in 2021 at the end of his contract with Milan. The goalkeeper is an Italian Super Cup winner, three-time French champion, two-time French Super Cup winner and he has also won the National Cup once. With the national team, Donnarumma became European champion and won two bronze medals in the Nations League. In 2021, he received the Lev Yashin Prize, reward for the best goalkeeper of the season.
Safonov is also 25 years old. This summer he left Krasnodar for PSG. The Russian played six matches for the French team in all tournaments, keeping his goal intact in three matches.
