Exclusive | Optimism over Gianluigi Donnarumma contract extension at PSG | OneFootball

Get French Football News understands that there is optimism regarding a contract extension for Gianluigi Donnarumma (26), instrumental in Paris Saint-Germain’s run to the UEFA Champions League final.

GFFN understands that talks over a contract extension for the Italian preceded the recent uptick in form, and there is now optimism regarding a positive conclusion. Donnarumma has been pivotal for PSG in ties against Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Liverpool, securing a place in the UCL final against Inter Milan.

The Italian shot-stopper’s future could soon be assured too. The ball is now in the players’ camp, although there is a set of criteria that apply to all players who sign extensions with Les Parisiens, which must be accepted by Donnarumma if the deal is to be signed. As stated by the player and his agent, an extended stay at the Parc des Princes is the priority. For a long time, it was uncertain whether that was also the club’s priority, but there is now a common desire to continue the adventure together.
