Gianluigi Donnarumma (25) has seen his position as Paris Saint-Germain’s No.1 contested in recent months. It is a situation that has had a bearing on contract negotiations, as his agent has revealed.
Matvei Safonov was brought in in the summer in order to provide heightened competition for Donnarumma. The Italian has struggled with the pressure, particularly in the UEFA Champions League, and has seen himself replaced in some of Les Parisiens’ key games this Autumn.
L’Équipe reported that the Italian was frustrated with his situation and that it could have a bearing on contract talks, with his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2026. Talking to Radio Sportiva, his agent confirmed that Donnarumma’s future is up in the air.
“His future at PSG? We are in a period of reflection. We will see. Anything can happen. Now we are on standby in contract talks,” said Enzo Raiola. After his collision with Wilfried Singo during Wednesday’s win over AS Monaco (4-2), the Italian is set to miss around a fortnight’s worth of action. It gives Safonov further chances to consolidate his place in the set-up and cast further doubt on Donnarumma’s future.
