Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma looks set to leave Champions League winners Paris St-germain after being left out of the squad for the Super Cup against Tottenham.
The 26-year-old has been immense for PSG and Italy in recent years but has not been included by manager Luis Enrique.
PSG signed French keeper Lucas Chevalier on Saturday, fuelling speculation about Donnarumma’s future, and with one year left on his contract, the Italian is now set to move on.
“Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success,” Donnarumma posted on social media on Tuesday.
“I am disappointed and disheartened.”
“These are always hard decisions to make. I can only say good things about Gianluigi Donnarumma,” Enrique told reporters.
“He is one of the best players in his position, without any doubt. He is even better as a person, but we were looking for a different profile of keeper.
“Bearing in mind the level of Gianluigi Donnarumma and everything he has given to the club, of course we understand the situation but my aim is to improve the team and I have tried to do that in the best way possible.”
