The contract of Gianluigi Donnarumma at PSG is due to expire next summer and a number of top clubs are eager to sign the goalkeeper but reports in Italy claim that his wage demands may prove too big a barrier for the 26-year-old to return to Serie A.
Donnarumma, hot off the back of a 2024-25 season that saw him help PSG lift the Champions League trophy, has just ten months left on his currently deal with the Ligue 1 champions and appears to be as likely to leave as he is to stay.

Reports from Tuttosport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, suggest that Bayern Munich and Manchester City are among the top teams coveting Donnarumma’s signature but that any Italian team could face the obstacle of the goalkeeper’s wage demands.

PSG prepare lower wage for Donnarumma as top clubs prepared to offer more
The reports suggest that PSG are not prepared to offer Donnarumma the same €12 million per season that he currently earns as a part of his contract. Instead, it is being suggested that the Parisian side will offer €8-9 million base salary with the other €3-4 million tied to individual and club performance objectives.

In much the same way that the Ligue 1 side are not willing to give the Italian the base €12 million per season, most Serie A clubs will also struggle to meet this figure. Which is why, as per the reports, big clubs in the rest of Europe are currently leading the race.
