Donnarumma postpone the extension of the contract due in 2026
This transfer will change the competition in this position at the European Champion. This will increase the pressure on the holder of Gianluigi Donnarumma, with whom the club has not yet reached an agreement for a new contract. Among the goalkeepers of the lot are Arnau Tenas and the Russian Matvey Safonov.

The reason why the Italian international hesitates to sign? PSG is not willing to meet the requirements of the European Champion in 2021. After a excellent 2024/25 season, it requires a substantial increase in salary and an undeniable status one between the goals. Currently, his salary is at 12 million euros annually. Too little, in his opinion.
