PSG excludes Gianluigi Donnarumma from final vs. Tottenham as exit looms

The breakdown in relations between PSG and Gianluigi Donnarumma has been confirmed. The Italian goalkeeper will leave the French club in this transfer window (or next) after failing to reach a renewal agreement.

This news sent shockwaves worldwide, as it was confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain excluded Gianluigi Donnarumma from their squad for the UEFA Super Cup final.

This paves the way for Lucas Chevalier to make his dream debut with PSG, potentially earning his first start for the team in a historic final for the Parisians.

Rumors suggest Donnarumma will head to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Chelsea as the frontrunners to sign the goalkeeper. The big question remains about his transfer value.

PSG paid €40m for Lucas Chevalier, leaving uncertainty about Gigio’s worth after being the world’s best goalkeeper last season and winning the UEFA Champions League with the French club.

Many believe that at 26 years old and as the current best goalkeeper, he could command over €50m, making it one of the most expensive goalkeeper transfers in football history.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed that there is a minimal chance Donnarumma stays this season only to leave for free next summer, though this is the least likely option, as the Italian wants to continue competing.

This unexpected turn of events between PSG and Donnarumma leaves a bitter taste for fans who undoubtedly expected this partnership to last many more years.

Having won absolutely everything with PSG, the Italian’s journey ends here – leaving as a club legend through the front door after winning Paris Saint-Germain’s first ever UEFA Champions League.
