PSG Faces Backlash After Dropping Donnarumma Amid Exit Talks

Gianluigi Donnarumma has been controversially dropped by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in favor of new goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, a decision that has sparked significant backlash from fans and criticism from Donnarumma's agent, Enzo Raiola. Despite Donnarumma's key role in PSG's recent Champions League and Ligue 1 victories, PSG manager Luis Enrique stated the club is seeking a different goalkeeper profile, taking full responsibility for the decision. Raiola condemned PSG for showing "zero respect" to Donnarumma after four years with the club and criticized the club's demands for a high transfer fee despite the goalkeeper's willingness to reduce his salary. Donnarumma is reportedly considering moves to the Premier League, with Manchester City identified as a leading candidate interested in signing him. The situation has escalated to the point where legal action is being contemplated by Donnarumma’s representatives due to the treatment he has received from PSG. Meanwhile, Chevalier's debut was marred by errors in the UEFA Super Cup, which fueled fan discontent over the decision to replace Donnarumma.
