PSG are open to selling Gianluigi Donnarumma after agreeing to sign Lucas Chevalier from Lille. Donnarumma’s contract situation and Luis Enrique’s preference for a ball-playing goalkeeper are contributing factors. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Inter Milan are expected to show interest.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly entertaining offers for their star goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, following the imminent arrival of Lucas Chevalier from LOSC Lille. According to Julien Laurens of ESPN, the transfer of Chevalier is set to be a €40 million deal, potentially rising to €55 million with add-ons. An official announcement is expected shortly.
Donnarumma was instrumental in PSG's Champions League triumph last season; the decision to consider his departure might seem perplexing. However, the Italian international has less than a year remaining on his current contract and reportedly requested a substantial pay increase for a renewal. Negotiations with sporting director Luis Campos seemingly reached a standstill.
Furthermore, head coach Luis Enrique is reportedly seeking a goalkeeper with superior ball-playing abilities, a trait Chevalier supposedly possesses. The 23-year-old Frenchman is poised to assume the role of first-choice goalkeeper, potentially sidelining Donnarumma.
Retaining a high-earning player like Donnarumma as a backup would be impractical. PSG are anticipating interest from prominent clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Inter Milan for the Italian goalkeeper's services.
