The agent of Gianluigi Donnarumma has opened the fire on PSG and their treatment of the keeper with his time in Paris, while Manchester City looks in to dive and sign him
Gianluigi Donnarumma is set for the PSG output door and Manchester City has emerged as a likely freer because the situation of the Italian in Paris seems irreparable. Fallout is intensified after a change in the guard between the sticks.
The keeper, who helped the French Giants claim Champions League Glory in previous term, has avoided himself by manager Luis Enrique and is not in the team for the European Super Cup collision with Tottenham. New signing Luke Chevalier has arrived directly and is the first choice.
City did not waste time grabbing the situation. In principle, they have reached an agreement with Donnarumma with regard to personal conditions, according to L'Equipe. The goalkeeper has already dealt with positive discussions with city boss Pep Guardiola, while they seem to dive into it at the Etihad.
It could open the door for Ederson, who is connected to a move to join Galatasaray while those in Manchester continue to revise their team.
The agent Enzo Raiola of Donnarumma, who is giant because of the situation, admits that England is a serious option. He said: “We will now consider solutions, perhaps in Premier League there will be clubs that can pay what is needed. Paris Saint-Germain will ask for big money. They talk about respect, but it is only about the money.
He added: “We were shocked by PSG. There is zero respect by the club after 4 years. We will also consider the situation with our legal team. Gigio was even ready to reduce his salary, but PSG changed the conditions again.”
The first reports had claimed that the Italian would be available for around £ 26 million, but others have suggested that it could be as high as £ 40 million. City regards the second digit as too high and may have to negotiate with the Parisians whether they want to land the 26-year-old, who is also connected to Manchester United.
The situation of Donnarumma has escalated after a fall -out of a contract, which is said to have seen the Italian for an increase of 50 percent with his current £ 210,000 a week's salary – although that contradicts what his agent says – despite the fact that PSG wants to change their wage structure. And on Tuesday he released his frustration that he was challenged by Luis Enrique.
He posted on Instagram: “Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the success of the team. I am disappointed and discouraged. I hope to get the chance to look the fans in the eyes again and say goodbye as it should.”
