Paris Saint-Germain have omitted first-choice goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from their squad for Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur in Udine, deepening a rift that club insiders say has become irreparable. The 26-year-old Italy international is unwilling to extend the five-year contract he signed on joining from AC Milan in 2021, and PSG have decided not to offer fresh terms. People familiar with the discussions say the French champions now expect to sell the player this summer or next, rather than risk losing him for nothing when his deal expires in 2026. A transfer to the English Premier League is viewed by those close to the talks as the most probable outcome, with several leading clubs monitoring the situation. Donnarumma has made 161 appearances and kept 56 clean sheets for PSG, winning ten major trophies including last season’s treble. PSG coach Luis Enrique has promoted recent signing Lucas Chevalier as his new No. 1 for the Super Cup, travelling with Chevalier, Matvei Safonov and Arnau Tenas while leaving Donnarumma in Paris.
