Donnarumma’s Inter move unlikely as PSG optimistic about contract extension | OneFootball

Chances of Italy star Gianluigi Donnarumma staying at PSG are reportedly on the rise after the club decided to reopen negotiations over his contract extension. This follows weeks of tension, which were also marked by rumours about a potential move to Inter.

With his deal with the Ligue 1 giants expiring in June 2026, talks between the player and the club had already started in the previous months, but difficulties in coming to an agreement sparked speculation about his future at the Parc des Princes.

Some recent reports from Italy suggested that Inter were keeping close tabs on the former Milan goalkeeper and had already contacted his entourage to understand the feasibility of a potential deal.

However, the latest updates from RMC Sport claim that PSG are ‘optimistic’ about extending the 25-year-old contract after reopening discussions with his agents.

The Italy international was already informed that he would need to accept the club’s updated policy, which entails lower fixed salaries combined with a variable component tied to performance and the number of matches played.

French media reports that both Donnarumma and the Ligue 1 powerhouse are willing to sign a new deal, which is expected to be finalized before next summer, when the player will have only one year left on his current contract.
