PSG Omits Donnarumma From Super Cup Squad After Contract Talks Break Down

PSG’s new pay structure stalled Donnarumma’s renewal talks, prompting Premier League clubs to line up potential bids.

Overview

  • PSG left Donnarumma out of its UEFA Super Cup squad for the match against Tottenham, a decision coach Luis Enrique took to reflect his preference for a different goalkeeper profile.
  • In a social media post, Donnarumma said he had been forced out of the group and expressed disappointment at not being able to contribute to the team.
  • The club recently signed 23-year-old Lucas Chevalier from Lille for around €40 million and has installed him as the new first-choice goalkeeper.
  • PSG’s proposal of lower fixed pay supplemented by performance bonuses stalled Donnarumma’s contract renewal, leaving him with one year remaining on his deal.
  • Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Donnarumma this summer, with PSG values ranging from €20 million to €50 million and an unconfirmed L’Equipe report of an economic agreement with City.
