another goalkeeper for Luis Enrique?- ​​Corriere.it

Gigio Donnarumma has always been under scrutiny. From the first day of his landing in Paris, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, for wear the PSG shirt, the team of champions that never manages to shine in the Champions League and where the climate is always torrid. Messi flew to Inter Miami (he never entered, and this in itself is news, in the hearts of the fans); Mbapp has said for a month that he has no intention of renewing his contract with the Parisians, which expires on June 30, 2024, to go to Real Madrid on a free transfer. Leaving aside the non-football problems of President Nasser Al Khelaifi.

Transfer market, today’s negotiations live

In short, the environment is not the simplest, and serenity never reigned in the locker room. Donnarumma had to face the benches with Keylor Navas as starter in the first months of his first season, and then a few too many mistakes (and many criticisms that fell on him from the French press) in the second season.

And now? The team, in fact never tender towards the ex Milan, raises doubts about the way of playing of the new coach, Luis Enrique, who has always demanded building from below, with the participation of the goalkeeper. Hence the perplexities of the newspaper: Donnarumma would not give guarantees in setting up the game. And for this reason PSG are considering buying another goalkeeper to stimulate competition between the posts.

Among the names, those of Lloris and De Gea. Parisian fans (and not only them) remember the mistake of the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 2022: uncertainty by Donnarumma, charge by Benzema (foul, according to the blue goalkeeper) and the decisive goal by the French with Real Madrid to celebrate the passage of the shift. A controversial episode, but which many media have put into account the European champion goalkeeper with Roberto Mancini’s national team in July 2021.

Two years later, almost exactly, it is still Gigio’s task to silence the detractors and reject the market ideas of Lloris and De Gea (just released from Manchester United). The former AC Milan player returns from holidays on Monday 17 July: he will no longer have coach Gianluca Spinelli by his side (he can go to Inter after five seasons in Paris), but he will still have a great desire to get back on the scene.
