Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has signed a contract with PSG for 5 years after leaving AC Milan
Italy’s star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who saved two penalties in the Euro 2020 final against England, signed a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Donnarumma, who was crowned Euro 2020 Player of the Tournament after Italy’s victory over England in the final, helped Milan finish second in Serie A last season to secure Champions League qualification for the first time since 2013-14.
During his six seasons in Serie A, the 22-year-old made 215 league appearances, while becoming the youngest goalkeeper in Italian national team history, at the age of 17 years and 189 days, during a game against France, in September 2016.
PSG said that Donnarumma has signed a deal until the end of June 2026.
“I am delighted to be part of this huge club,” Donnarumma said. “I feel ready to take on this new challenge and continue to grow here. With Paris, I want to win as much as possible and to bring joy to the supporters.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Donnarumma posted an emotional Instagram message to Milan supporters.
“All the Rossoneri I met, from the first to the last day, will always be in my heart as a fundamental part of that journey through life that made me what I am today,” he said.
“I wish Milan all possible success and I do that with my heart, for the affection that ties me to these colours, a sentiment that distance and time cannot cancel.
“I arrived at Milan when I was little more than a child, for eight years I wore this jersey with pride. I also achieved important personal targets with the Rossoneri shirt, such as my debut at the age of 16 in Serie A. I experienced extraordinary years that I will never forget.”
Donnarumma will be in competition with the experienced Keylor Navas for the goalkeeeper’s jersey.
PSG has signed veteran defender Sergio Ramos on a free transfer after he played 16 years for Spanish giants Real Madrid and bought right back Achraf Hakimi from Italian champions Inter Milan. PSG have also signed Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum from Liverpool on a free transfer.
