Passed by the capital club in 2018/2019, Gianluigi Buffon welcomed the imminent arrival of his Italian compatriot Gianluigi Donnarumma at PSG. The officialization of the transfer to Paris of the former Milanese must take place in the coming hours.
The officialization of the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma at PSG is imminent. Currently engaged in the Euro where the Italian selection of Roberto Mancini achieved a very convincing group stage – with three wins in as many matches – the 22-year-old goalkeeper spent his medical examination on Monday to join the club in the capital. If the official announcement is dragging a bit due to final details with his agent Mino Raiola, Donnarumma will therefore be Parisian next season. A transfer hailed by Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon.
Passed by PSG during the 2018-2019 season, the former Juventus goalkeeper seemed to have kept very good memories of his time in the French capital. Asked by Sky Sport Italia, he welcomed the choice of his successor in the cages of the Azzura team : “I wish him the best of luck. He goes to a wonderful club and city. He’s a very strong keeper. He will have the chance to win a trophy shortly. “
Gianluigi Donnarumma will engage with PSG until 2026 and receive a net salary of € 10 million annually according to the Italian press. He arrives free after the end of his contract with AC Milan. For his part, at 43, Gianluigi Buffon has still not finished with high-level football. The goalkeeper has just returned to Parma, the Serie B club where he made his first professional steps in 1995. He signed up until 2023.
