When a player helps lead their team to a historic treble, you’d think their future at the club is set — but that’s not quite the case for Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper, who was instrumental in Paris Saint-Germain’s incredible 2024–25 season, is now facing an important conversation about his future in the French capital.
Contract Talks Stall as PSG Look to Extend Donnarumma’s Deal
Donnarumma’s current contract with PSG runs through June 2026, and the club is eager to keep him around longer.
However, contract negotiations have hit a snag in recent months. PSG’s latest offer reportedly features a lower base salary but includes performance-related bonuses — a deal structure preferred by sporting director Luis Campos.
This approach seems to have complicated talks, leaving both sides at a standstill for now.
Growing Interest from English Clubs Adds Pressure
To make things even more complicated, Donnarumma is catching eyes elsewhere, especially in the Premier League.
Manchester City’s interest in the Italy No. 1 has been well-known for some time, especially after his outstanding performances in recent months.
Now, according to reports from L’Equipe, Manchester United has also entered the race to sign him.
The goalkeeper himself has discussed the possibility of moving to England with his Italian teammates while on international duty.
Donnarumma Focuses on National Team Before Deciding PSG Future
When asked about his future during international duty, Donnarumma kept things measured.
“I don’t know yet what is going to happen,” he said.
“I feel good in Paris. I haven’t decided anything. For now, I want to focus on the matches with the national team, and nothing else.”
He confirmed plans to meet with PSG’s management and his own team soon to discuss the contract situation, emphasizing it’s still early days.
The Pressure Behind the Scenes: Feeling Unappreciated Despite Success
Even though Donnarumma publicly states he is happy at PSG, insiders reveal he has privately expressed frustrations.
Particularly during times when the media and fans have been harsh on him, he has felt a lack of support and recognition from the club.
This underlying tension could be playing a role in the stalled talks, as the goalkeeper weighs his options both on and off the pitch.
