Tensions between the club and Donnarumma escalated after talks over a new contract were halted, with the two sides far from reaching an agreement. The European champion with Italy has a deal expiring next summer, when he could leave as a free agent. PSG appear unwilling to let him go in that manner, as happened with Kylian Mbappe, and plan to sell him this summer.
The Paris club have already prepared for his possible departure by signing a replacement in Lucas Chevalier, who arrived from Lille. If Donnarumma had hoped to compete for the starting spot with the new signing, Luis Enrique made it clear that this would not happen. The goalkeeper may have played his final match for PSG, despite having played a key role last season in winning four trophies, including the Champions League.
Donnarumma is expected to move to the Premier League, with Manchester United the frontrunner for his signature. Chelsea are also interested, along with Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. Inter and Juventus are monitoring the situation but cannot afford his wages.
