Donnarumma's case was a set of circumstances that led to this decision, as he requested a salary at the level of the old PSG, not the current one. Our policy is very tied to merit. You earn more when you deserve it and when you play. Gianluigi was the first player we approached about an extension, but we quickly understood that it will be difficult due to his demands. We took time to discuss Gigio's situation. We were forced to find solutions in a case where we couldn't reach an agreement. The star is the club, the whole group. The salary policy applies to everyone. The club's stability will not change because of one player who wants to be different.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has chosen to wear the unorthodox number 99 shirt at Manchester City following his deadline day move from Paris St-Germain. The Italy international goalkeeper wears that number because he was born in 1999, and has sported it during his time in Paris and at his boyhood club AC Milan. The 26-year-old wears the number one shirt at international level, but that squad number is already occupied at City by goalkeeper James Trafford.
Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to move for Emiliano Martinez as a response to Manchester United's interest in Gianluigi Donnarumma. With the recent successes of PSG, they aim to replace the Italy international with the esteemed Argentina international goalkeeper Martinez.
