PSG Taps Chevalier as First‐Choice Keeper as Donnarumma’s Exit Stalls

PSG’s refusal to lower its valuation has stalled Donnarumma’s exit despite strong interest from Manchester City

Overview

  • Lucas Chevalier has been installed as PSG’s starting goalkeeper after a mixed UEFA Super Cup debut that featured an error but ended with a decisive penalty save in a shootout win.
  • Coach Luis Enrique publicly embraced Chevalier after the final and took full responsibility for the decision to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma.
  • Gianluigi Donnarumma is training apart from PSG’s first team and supported by FIGC president Gabriele Gravina after his agent threatened legal action over alleged mobbing.
  • Manchester City has stepped up interest in Donnarumma but faces PSG’s steep €50 million asking price that has so far prevented a deal.
  • Tottenham Hotspur issued an official statement condemning racist abuse directed at Mathys Tel and pledged to cooperate with authorities in pursuing those responsible.
