PSG file tensions and departures of goaltenders

Gianluigi Donnarumma could leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of the mercato, attracting interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. His lack of agreement for an extension of contract, combined with the arrival of Lucas Chevalier, who should compete with him in his position as holder, could speed up his departure. Several clubs are now on the lookout, taking advantage of the contractual situation of the Italian international, whose market value is estimated at 40 million euros. Although the MTP does not want to hinder its departure, the club is aware of the potential financial gain that such a transfer could represent.

Ashraf Hakimi’s recent position in favour of his own Ballon d’Or has created tensions within the PSG, particularly with the relatives of Ousmane Dembélé. The Parisian club actively seeks to calm this controversy, stressing the importance of the collective before any individual ambition. Sources indicate that PSG management did not appreciate Hakimi’s comments, fearing that they would undermine team cohesion. Despite these efforts, the subject may remain in the media until the award winner is announced.

Moreover, Arnault Tena’s, goaltender who arrived from FC Barcelona in 2023, should leave the PSG. After having played only nine games, his chances of breaking through are now slim with the arrival of Lucas Chevalier. The Paris club set its price at 6 million euros, and Spanish and English clubs would be interested. As part of a desire to streamline its workforce, the PSG encourages Tena’s to find a new club, recognizing that it now has four high-level goaltenders.
