Gigio Donnarumma left at home: with PSG, it’s overt crisis

Gigio Donnarumma is increasingly a foreign body at Paris Saint-Germain. The goalkeeper from Campania, who has been playing for the Parisians since 2021, seemed destined this year to deal with dualism with newcomer Lucas Chevalier, but his situation seems to have degenerated in the meantime. To the point of excluding him from participation in the UEFA Super Cup.

Although the officiality is still lacking, it seems in fact now certain that he will be excluded from the list of players available to Luis Enrique ahead of the highly anticipated Udine match against Europa League winner Tottenham’s side. Champions League holder PSG will not only take the field with Chevalier but will not even bring Donnarumma to the bench.

An increasingly thorny situation, especially since the season that begins precisely with the UEFA Super Cup will lead to a World Cup that Italy has yet to win, but which Azzurri captain Donnarumma is obviously aiming to play as a starter. Especially since his contract with PSG ends in June 2026, thus making Donnarumma’s departure from Paris an interest for all parties.

Fresh off his candidacy for the Ballon d’Or and hero in the last season in which he won both Ligue 1 and the Champions League as a starter, Donnarumma could powerfully turn into one of the hottest names in international soccer in these last weeks of August. Clearly impossible his renewal with PSG, urgent becomes a transfer. Especially since his presence on the field is likely to become even less than the impressions that Chevalier’s arrival had already triggered.
