Paris Saint-Germain have a big decision to make: is Gianluigi Donnarumma still their long-term answer in goal? His contract runs until 2026, but time might already be running out.
Since arriving from AC Milan in 2021, Donnarumma has had his share of standout moments—like his penalty shootout performance against Liverpool this year.
But he’s also made some costly errors, including that infamous mistake against Real Madrid in 2022, which still raises questions about whether he can be trusted at the highest level.
If PSG decide he’s not the one to build around, they’ll need to start planning for a replacement—whether that’s this summer or next.
Another Premier League club keen on Diogo Costa
Although not reportedly linked to PSG, pursuing Diogo Costa does make sense since the Parisians have a connection to Portugal under Luis Campos. Nonetheless, other clubs are keen on the Portuguese shot-stopper.
Manchester City are stepping up their pursuit of FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa after another injury setback for Ederson, according to The Mirror (h/t GOAL).
While Costa’s contract includes a £63 million release clause, City are reportedly hopeful they can get a deal done for closer to £50 million. Meanwhile, Journalist Nicolò Schira recently reported that Costa is on Manchester United’s list to replace Andre Onana next season.
In his latest column for PSG Talk Extra Time, Zach Lowy—a multimedia journalist featured on BBC, SiriusXM, and more—named Costa as the player that the Parisians should be pursuing this summer.
“Boasting nerves of steel and high levels of concentration, Costa is never one to back away from a challenge and does a magnificent job of organizing his backline, coming off his line to claim crosses, and getting a strong punch to clear the danger,” Lowy wrote.
“Furthermore, he’s a sweeper-keeper with the reflexes and intelligence to make a desperately needed interception when required. Above all, though, he’s a massive upgrade on Donnarumma when it comes to breaking the lines and spreading the ball with his cultured passing ability.”
