Donnarumma, Raiola: “PSG has no respect, we are considering legal action”

Rome, 13 August (LaPresse) – ‘The boy is very sorry for what happened. The last 10 days risk wiping out four years here. Stunned by this lack of respect, a castle has collapsed.’ So said Enzo Raiola, Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent, in an interview with Sky Sport, regarding the breakdown between the goalkeeper and PSG. "The club had made different requests. In the end, we accepted a lower offer than his current salary because Gigio wanted to stay, but then they changed the terms, at which point we broke off negotiations to talk again after the Champions League final. We spoke again before the Club World Cup and they confirmed their desire to continue. We did not expect what happened in the last ten days," he added. ‘I understand the need to buy a new goalkeeper, but to even drop Gigio after everything he has done for the club is a huge lack of respect that I will discuss with my lawyers. Regardless of the fact that the coach made the decision, he also works for the club and my lawyers and I want to better understand their position,’ he added. ‘Until a month ago, we were talking about renewing his contract, so it's strange that in a month the coach has changed his mind about Gigio as a player. This is what saddens me the most and makes me think that in the end it was better not to renew,’ he explained. ‘Perhaps only in the Premier League can they meet the club's financial demands, which are excessive. They talk about respect, but at this point, perhaps respect is only financial. It's not about leaving a project and finding the best for Gigio. Even from an image perspective, we have to take a stand to understand how to deal with the club,’ Raiola concluded.
