Posted on November 14, 2021 at 11:30 am by Hadrien Grenier While Paris Saint-Germain chose to bet on Gianluigi Donnarumma last summer, the club from the French capital would have greatly upset its initial plans if the latest echoes from Italy are to be believed. Paris Saint-Germain were on the lookout for any market opportunities during the last summer transfer window, and that's why he jumped on the one represented by Gianluigi Donnarumma . At the end of the contract at AC Milan , the player represented by Mino Raiola was never able to find common ground to renew his lease because of his claims salaries. Once free, the Parisian club therefore had plenty of time to accelerate to complete his arrival by signing him a five-year contract. Since then, the European champion with Italy in the last Euro works daily by coping with the competition imposed on him by Keylor Navas . To better manage the situation and the egos, Mauricio Pochettino has chosen to bet on an alternation between the two men, even if it could well be tense Gigio Donnarumma . “It doesn't hamper my performance. Of course that bothers me because it's not easy. I was still the holder, it's sometimes disappointing to be on the bench. But I am calm and am sure that the situation will be resolved “, entrusted the goalkeeper of one meter ninety-six this Friday evening to TNT Sports. This Sunday, the remarks made by Gianluigi Donnarumma find a strong echo on the other side of the Alps, where La Gazzetta dello Sport unveils some behind the scenes of his departure from AC Milan explaining that the Italian’s frustration could have been avoided. Indeed, according to the pink paper sports daily, PSG simply had no intention of signing the 22-year-old originally. An informal pact had even been concluded between Leonardo and Paolo Maldini in this sense, the first assuring the second that Paris did not need 'a goalkeeper such as Gigio Donnarumma : “As long as Navas is a goalkeeper at PSG, we cannot take Donnarumma”. Rumors about an interest from PSG towards him were already present, and the Parisian sporting director then wanted to assure Paolo Maldini that he would not hinder his plans to extend the lease of the one who was crowned best player of the Euro 2020 . This contract renewal was even a priority for AC Milan , who hoped until the end to convince his player to settle in the long term in his squad. However, this pact between Leonardo and Paolo Maldini was finally broken by Mino Raiola according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Having nothing to do with internal Parisian politics and the initial management of the residents of the Parc des Princes , the famous Italian-Dutch agent would have set to work independently by dealing directly with Nasser al-Khelaïfi and bypassing the position of Leonardo . Result of the races, Gianluigi Donnarumma did not extend at the Rossoneri and went to PSG after the president of the Ile-de-France team was easily convinced despite the fact that recruiting a porter was not an emergency. And this is how the current leader of Ligue 1 offered himself the luxury, but also the complex management, of having two goalkeepers in his workforce able to occupy a role of number 1 indisputable.
