Paris Saint-Germain has made a significant decision by excluding Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from their squad for the upcoming UEFA Super Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur. This move strongly suggests that Donnarumma`s tenure with the French club may be coming to an end.
The match is scheduled to take place at the Stadio Friuli on Wednesday evening, marking the traditional season opener between the Champions League winners and the Europa League trophy holders.
The relationship between Donnarumma and PSG has become increasingly strained, with contract renewal negotiations reaching an impasse. His current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, potentially allowing him to leave as a free agent in June 2026. PSG has already taken steps to secure his replacement by signing Lucas Chevalier.
PSG Sends Clear Message to Donnarumma
By leaving Donnarumma out of the traveling squad entirely, manager Luis Enrique has sent a clear message regarding the goalkeeper`s future at the club. This decision implies that Donnarumma may have already played his final game for Paris Saint-Germain, despite his instrumental role in helping the team achieve a historic Quadruple last season, including a Champions League victory.
As Donnarumma`s time at PSG appears to be drawing to a close, speculation about his next destination has begun. The English Premier League seems to be the most likely option, with Manchester United emerging as the frontrunners, ahead of other interested clubs such as Chelsea. Galatasaray and Bayern Munich have also expressed interest in the Italian international, while Italian giants Inter and Juventus may struggle to meet his wage demands.
