PSG Sidelines Donnarumma From Super Cup as Exit Looms

Lucas Chevalier’s promotion to starter underscores collapsed renewal talks, indicating PSG will seek compensation before Donnarumma becomes a free agent in 2026.

Overview

  • PSG excluded Gianluigi Donnarumma from its UEFA Super Cup squad to face Tottenham in Udine, elevating Lucas Chevalier from Lille as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
  • Renewal talks have stalled over PSG’s proposal to replace part of Donnarumma’s guaranteed salary with performance-based incentives, a scheme he reportedly rejected.
  • With one year remaining on his deal, PSG is expected to demand a transfer fee this window rather than risk losing him on a free next summer.
  • Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports Donnarumma will depart either this summer or in 2026, with Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Inter Milan among the clubs showing interest.
  • PSG’s shift under sporting director Luis Campos and coach Luis Enrique emphasizes younger talent, highlighted by the €40 million signing of Chevalier and a new performance-linked wage structure.
