Enzo Raiola has confirmed that Gianluigi Donnarumma will leave PSG by the end of the summer transfer window.
Speaking to Radio Sportiva via FCInterNews, Raiola admitted the Italy captain will not stay at the Parc des Princes.
The 26-year-old’s fallout with Les Parisiens has come out of the blue.
Indeed, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been a crucial component of PSG’s success in recent years.
One of the world’s best goalkeepers helped the club win its first-ever Champions League title only last season.
However, only a few months later, he is on the verge of leaving Paris.
Donnarumma signed a four-year contract worth €11.5 million net per season in 2021 when he arrived from AC Milan.
Although the perennial Ligue 1 champions sought to extend his contract, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the terms.
PSG’s €8m contract offer fell short of Donnarumma’s expectations.
On the other hand, Manchester City and Inter Milan have set their sights on the star goalkeeper.
Gianluigi Donnarumma Agent Confirms Immediate PSG Exit
“We were informed of his exclusion upon the resumption of training,” Raiola explained.
“During the Club World Cup, they told us that his contract would not be renewed. We responded by stating our intention to stay until the end of the current deal.
“However, even during the holidays, Luis Enrique called me to see if there were any options for a departure.
“I reiterated that his wish was to stay another year.
“But as soon as we returned, they informed us of the intention to remove him from the squad.
“Up to a certain point, the negotiations were very respectful,” he added. “We were very close to an agreement for the renewal.
“Then, at some point, there was a sudden break.
“It cannot be just a technical matter, as Luis Enrique said; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been discussing a renewal until a month ago.
“A month ago, we were talking about an imminent renewal. I don’t believe Luis Enrique changed his mind over the holidays.”
Final Verdict
“As for the future, I don’t want to make any definitive statements,” Raiola continued. “The Premier League is an option that is of huge interest from every point of view – it’s one of the best leagues in the world. S
“o far, the only player to win the Premier League as a protagonist has been Mario Balotelli; maybe Gigio will be the second.
“Serie A? Top clubs are testing the waters, but you don’t see them eager to finalise a deal anytime soon.
“It’s not that we’re unwilling to consider a return to Serie A – it’s that the clubs are looking at other options and situations.
“The truth is, there’s nothing concrete in Italy right now.”
Do whatever it takes, leave nothing on the table, if he chases money in Saudi / UK then fair enough, but do NOT regret this opportunity in seasons to come..
A GK in his prime, probably worth £100m without the drama, top 3 GK on the planet,
