Gianluigi Donnarumma confims his exit from PSG

Gianluigi Donnarumma has confirmed that he will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain during the current 2025 summer transfer window.

Regarding his future at PSG, Donnarumma released a statement saying: “From the first day I arrived, I gave everything on and off the pitch to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain. Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success.

“I am disappointed and disheartened. I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done. If that doesn’t happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget it.

“I will always carry with me the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights, and of you, who made me feel at home. To my teammates, my second family – thank you for every battle, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my brothers. Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you, Paris.”

His potential departure became evident after he was excluded from the squad for the UEFA Super Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur on August 13, 2025. Reports indicate that the goalkeeper was both surprised and upset by the decision to remove him from the team.

How did PSG head coach respond to Donnarumma’s departure?

Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach, Luis Enrique, took full responsibility for the decision, stating that he wanted a “different kind of goalkeeper.” He also noted that Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Meanwhile, Reports from Donnarumma’s representatives expressed shock and a belief that the club had shown a “zero respect” after four years, even after the player was reportedly willing to take a salary cut.

Donnarumma has been linked with several Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea. However, Manchester City appears to be the most strongly rumored destination, with reports suggesting the club is pursuing a move for the Italian goalkeeper.
