Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) gatekeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma first said a de facto goodbye before the club's official announcement.

Donnarumma released a statement on its personal channel on the 13th (Korea time). This is what he left shortly after he was excluded from the list of the 2025 European Super Cup match between PSG and Tottenham on the 14th. Donnarumma, whose contract with PSG ends by June 2026, was facing his final season without being able to renew his contract due to unreasonable salary demands.

Donnarumma, who opened the text "Dear Paris fans" "From the first day I came here, I put everything in and out of the stadium to keep my place and to keep PSG's goal. Unfortunately, however, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the squad, and I can't contribute to the success of this team. It's so disappointing, so discouraging."




Although he did not name any particular person, 'Someone' can be assumed to be PSG director Luis Enrique or a particular leader. Regarding Donnarumma's exclusion from the Super Cup entry, Enrique said it was "100% my decision and my responsibility."

Donnarumma hopes to have another chance to say goodbye to fans in the eyes at the Parc des Princes. Even if you can't, I hope you know that affection for you is irreplaceable and precious. I'll never forget it. All the emotions and magical nights, the memories that made me feel as comfortable as I was at home, will always be in my heart."

Then "My second family, my team members. Thank you for every game, every smile, every moment we've played together. You will always remain my brothers. It was a great honor to play for PSG and stay in Paris. Thank you, Paris."

Donnarumma's agent, Enzo Raiola, said "Gio (Donnarumma)'s remarks clearly show that the young player is deeply disappointed. It's really shocking. Four years of respect and great achievements collapsed in just 10 days. Everything we have achieved with PSG is on the verge of going up in smoke," he told Sky Sports.

Raiola continued "I didn't expect what had happened in the last 10 days. It was a great lack of respect to let Donnarumma go." "He even expressed his intention to cut his salary, but each time, PSG changed the terms of the contract."," he said, expressing his willingness to take legal action through an attorney.

Donnarumma, a former AC Milan youth who left AC Milan to join PSG in 2021, has kept the goal as the main goalkeeper for four years. Although he was criticized for his ups and downs, he contributed to PSG's first treble by showing off his best defense ability in the 2024-2025 season.

In preparation for Donnarumma's departure, PSG has already hired Lille OSC goalkeeper Luca Schvalier, who was proven in Ligue 1, as the first recruit this summer on the 10th. It invested 40 million euros (about 64.7 billion won) in basic transfer fees alone. Coach Enrique is said to have Schvalier, who has good build-up ability, in mind as the No. 1 goalkeeper next season.

Coincidentally, at the time Donnarumma issued a statement, leading local media and highly trusted reporters began reporting on Donnarumma's next destination. It's Manchester City. Manchester City, which wants to dispose of Ederson, has reached a personal agreement with Donnarumma, according to the report.

Raiola says "PSG talks about respect, but it's asking for excessive transfer fees. It's all about money."

PSG will face Tottenham for the Super Cup title at 4 a.m. on the 14th at the Blue Energy Stadium in Udine, Italy. Lee Kang-in, who is included in the squad, will go on another trophy hunt against Tottenham, where Son Heung-min left.
