As Paris Saint-Germain announced multiple contract extensions last Friday before their 4-1 victory over Monaco, one key absence raised concerns: Gianluigi Donnarumma. His omission from the renewal list has sparked questions about his future in Paris.
Is Donnarumma on the Way Out?
After weeks of stalled negotiations, discussions between Donnarumma and PSG seemed to be moving in a positive direction, according to RMC. However, despite being under contract until 2026, the Italian goalkeeper has yet to sign an extension. Meanwhile, Luis Enrique has made his decision—he wants a new number one next season, and his top target is Lucas Chevalier.
According to Le Parisien, the PSG manager has identified the Lille goalkeeper as his absolute priority for the summer transfer window. Since taking over at PSG in July 2023, Luis Enrique has yet to choose his own first-choice goalkeeper, and he intends to change that with Chevalier.

Donnarumma Facing a Backup Role?
If Lucas Chevalier signs with Paris, Donnarumma will face strong competition and could even be relegated to the bench. This move aligns with PSG’s efforts to bring stability to the goalkeeping position, an area where the club has struggled with consistency since the QSI era began.
A Complicated Deal for Lille
Lucas Chevalier, seen as a potential future goalkeeper for the French national team, is currently under contract with Lille until 2027. His market value, estimated at €30 million by Transfermarkt, could continue to rise. The key question remains: will Lille be willing to negotiate his departure, and at what price?
By securing Lucas Chevalier, PSG would make a major statement, but the deal remains uncertain, with Donnarumma’s contract situation also playing a crucial role in the club’s decision-making process.
