Al Khelaifi doesn't want another Mbappé case and is negotiating with Chelsea, he won't play in Madrid

According to L’Equipe, Nasser Al Khelaifi, PSG president, is reportedly looking to sell star goalkeeper Donnarumma this summer.

This would be to prevent him from leaving for free just as Mbappé did to Real Madrid.

Al Khelaifi doesn't want Donnarumma to pull a Mbappé

This same outlet states that, after the Italian refused to sign a new contract, PSG president is negotiating with Chelsea for a sale this summer.

The European champions do not want to go through a situation like Mbappé's, when France's captain left the club as a free agent in the summer of 2024 and joined Real Madrid.

This is Donnarumma's current situation

The 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper is under contract with PSG until 2026 and currently has a market value of about €40 million.

Donnarumma arrived at PSG in 2021 from Milan on a free transfer, so the French club did not pay anything for him because his contract had expired.

Last season, he played a total of 47 matches in which he conceded 43 goals and kept a clean sheet on 17 occasions.

Donnarumma wants to leave PSG

It is clear that one of the best options to leave is to wait until his contract ends. This way, his new club doesn't have to pay a transfer fee.

That translates into a good signing bonus for the player. Exactly what Mbappé did when he went to Real Madrid.

It seems that Al Khelaifi is still hurt by that and with the Italian goalkeeper, the "ghosts" have returned to his mind. To prevent it from happening again, he prefers to sell him this summer.

Donnarumma was expected to be a generational goalkeeper and one of the best of his era. Although he is a great goalkeeper, he has not yet become, at least for now, everything that was desired.

He has also been heavily linked to Real Madrid, but neither after Milan did he come to Madrid nor will he do so now if he leaves PSG. We will see how all this ends with Donnarumma, PSG, and Chelsea.
