Problems of Gianluigi Donnarumma with PSG Affect the National Team

  • Donnarumma is not included in the PSG squad for the UEFA Super Cup.
  • The PSG coach believes that the goalkeeper has technical issues with his game.
  • The situation creates problems for the national team of Italy ahead of important matches.

This is reported by L'Équipe, La Gazzetta dello Sport, La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the goalkeeper of the Italian national team, was not included in the Paris Saint-Germain squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham, which has sparked a wave of criticism in the Italian press. Media consider this decision a "blow to the player," who previously helped the team win the Champions League.

The reasons for his exclusion from the team are related to the fact that PSG coach, Luis Enrique, believes that Donnarumma has technical problems with his game. This has raised significant questions, especially since he was a key player in the team's previous Champions League campaign. Former Milan goalkeeper, Cristian Abbiati, emphasized that this decision is a logical consequence, given that Donnarumma previously demonstrated outstanding skills in goal.

The new appointment of goalkeeper Luka Ševalj has raised even more questions among Italian journalists. They believe that such a club decision could lead to a rupture in the relationship between Donnarumma and PSG, as well as create problems for the national team in crucial matches, when the new coach, Gennaro Gattuso, debuts in qualifying matches for the World Championship.

Gattuso, known for his close ties to Donnarumma, cannot be pleased with the situation, especially since the goalkeeper is one of the best in his position. Regardless of this, he intends to include him in the squad for important matches against Estonia and Israel, scheduled for September 5 and 8.

In the background of the uncertainty, Donnarumma's possible return to Italy or a transfer to another European club is raising discussions. However, most Italian clubs do not have the financial means to sign a contract with him, which makes his future uncertain.
