Gianluigi Donnarumma might switch sides in the next couple of years, as PSG have decided to halt the negotiation to renew his contract, which runs until 2026. He hasn’t had a great season so far. The French side spent for a new goalie last summer, Matvey Safonov. He has relieved the Azzurri mainstay six times already.
According to RMC Sport (via OneFootball), the brass has made the call because the pay rise he demands doesn’t align with his recent performances. The goalkeeper earns €10M per season including add-ons. He joined on a free transfer after a dispute with Milan back in 2021.
Inter have been mentioned as a potential destination for Donnarumma. His expiration date is the same as Yann Sommer. However, the star asks for €12M per year plus €3M bonuses, which is a very conspicuous sum for any Serie A side. The Nerazzurri esteem him, but his arrival is a long shot, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
If things didn’t improve between PSG and the shot-stopper, they might both seek a way out next summer rather than wait for another year. At that point, a transfer to the Premier League would be the most likely outcome.
Our Take on Donnarumma, PSG, and Inter
His salary is way too large for Italian teams, which was already the case when he left a few years back when Juventus had a real shot at him in a much more lavish era. The Nerazzurri should hand their reins to Josep Martinez once Sommer is done. Or, their investment would be hard to justify. Napoli could be a dark horse if Antonio Conte is still around, as they aren’t 100 percent set on goal.
