Paris Saint-Germain plans not to include Gianluigi Donnarumma in the group selected for the Supercoupe d’Europe, despite its crucial role in the team’s victory in the Champions League and its exceptional performance at the World Cup of Clubs. This decision follows the Italian striker’s refusal to extend his contract, which expires in one year. The arrival of Lucas Chevalier, a young French goaltender, also changed the hierarchy of Parisian guards, suggesting an uncertain future for Donnarumma at the club. Sources indicate that the club might not even match it in the Udine game, and that it would not be rewarded in the event of a win. This situation could lead Donnarumma to consider a departure, with Manchester United being cited as a possible destination.

At the same time, the PSG is preparing to manage the future of other goaltenders, including Arnau Tena, who should leave the club after being relegated to fourth place in the hierarchy. Several foreign clubs, including the team of Cesc Fabregas, showed interest in the young Spanish. This situation underscores the need for the MTP to reorganize its workforce in this area, following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier. Coach Luis Enrique stressed the club’s ambition to improve collectively, both offensively and defensively, and to target all possible titles for the coming season.

Prior to the Supercoupe d’Europe, Luis Enrique confirmed the absence of Gianluigi Donnarumma in the group, a significant decision given his past contribution to the club. This absence is directly related to the failure of the contract extension negotiations and the PSG’s willingness to build the future with Lucas Chevalier. Although Manchester United is mentioned as a potential destination for Donnarumma, no concrete offer has been made to date. This situation illustrates the harsh reality of the high level of sport, where performance must be constantly confirmed to maintain its place.
