Official: Gianluigi Donnarumma is already a Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player. Three days after winning the Euro Cup with Italy, the 22-year-old Milan goalkeeper, who was elected MVP of the tournament, signed this Wednesday a contract with the Parisian club until 2026. PSG announced through their social networks. Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the French team, will thus have at his command the one who was the hero of the Italian team in the final against England by stopping two penalties, those of Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka (Marcus Rashford's hit the post), in the batch that gave the title to the 'azzurri'.
Donnarumma arrives at PSG with the release letter after his goodbye to Milan, which he said goodbye to on Tuesday night with an emotional video. Hours later, as planned, the goalkeeper traveled to France and went to the PSG offices to finalize the details for the announcement of his signing. There was already an agreement between the parties and Donnarumma had passed the medical examination on June 21, before the round of 16 of the European Championship.
Donnarumma had the opportunity to greet his new coach, Pochettino, before signing. At PSG, the already Mian exporter will fight for ownership with ex-Madrid player Keylor Navas, 35. Donnarumma played for Milan from 2015 until this summer.
The MVP of the recently concluded Euro 2020 is PSG's fourth summer signing, after Georginio Wijnaldum (from Liverpool), Achraf Hakimi (Inter) and Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid). With this project, the Parc des Princes as a whole will try once again to win that Champions League that continues to resist and regain Ligue 1, which was snatched by Lille last season.
