Captain in danger, concern at the top: the eviction of Donnarumma at PSG takes on an unexpected magnitude even in the offices of Rome.
A few hours before a European final and at the dawn of the resumption of the championships, PSG is at the heart of an unexpected debate. Internally, the preparation is in full swing before facing Tottenham in European Super Cup. But a subject monopolizes conversations, far beyond French borders, for reasons that go beyond simple sporting logic.
The shock wave in Italy
Because it is not any player who has just been dismissed from the Paris group: Gianluigi Donnarumma, emblematic goalkeeper and captain of the Italian selection, was relegated to the bench and invited to consider a departure. A decision that found an immediate echo in Rome, at the headquarters of the Italian Federation. “I'm sorry, both human and sporty. It is a pillar of our team ”reacted Gabriele Gravina, president of the Figc, on Sky.
For Italy, the loss of rhythm of Donnarumma is more than a setback: it is a potential threat to the Nazional. Gravina does not hide her concern while displaying her confidence: “Gigio is very important for us (…) It is the strongest guard in the world. »» The 26 -year -old goalkeeper remains on a season where he contributed to the historic quadruple of PSG, but his contractual relations with the club have set up until breaking.
Donnarumma-PSG: breakup and shock wave in Italy
Donnarumma could quickly bounce back
The future of Donnarumma could take shape quickly. According to RMC Sport, Manchester City carefully monitors its situation, in the event of Ederson's departure, already in the viewfinder of Galatasaray. Pep Guardiola would see a good eye the arrival of a porter with an affirmed international experience, but no agreement is yet concrete.
In the meantime, PSG is about to play its final in Udine, the birthplace of the Italian porter … but with Lucas Chevalier in the goals. If the situation continues, it could weigh heavily on the plans of Italy for the 2026 World Cup. It remains to be seen whether the case will find a rapid outcome or if it will continue to feed the transalpine chronicle.
