Overview

  • Lucas Chevalier joined PSG from LOSC Lille for a reported €40 million fee (potentially rising to €55 million) and has been named the starter for the UEFA Supercup.
  • Gianluigi Donnarumma was omitted from PSG’s Supercup squad, effectively removing him from first-team plans after renewal talks stalled.
  • Coach Luis Enrique explained he wanted a different goalkeeper profile better suited to his possession-focused system.
  • Donnarumma posted an emotional farewell citing disappointment and his agent Enzo Raiola accused PSG of showing “zero respect,” warning of possible legal action.
  • Manchester City is viewed as the leading candidate to sign Donnarumma, although any deal depends on agreeing a transfer fee, his wage demands and related squad moves.
