Real Madrid Confidencial PSG slams the door on Real Madrid: the World Cup will prevent another Mbappé case
The Whites' plans are getting complicated; they wanted to do the same as with Mbappé
Real Madrid secured Mbappé's signing last summer after he didn't renew his contract. Once the European Championship and his vacation ended, we saw him in the Spanish capital for his presentation. This was a move Madridists were trying to repeat next year.
In this case, they were looking at the goalkeeping position since they were closely monitoring Donnarumma's situation. His contract ends in 2026, and for now, he hasn't renewed it, and it seems unlikely that he will. That puts PSG in a tough spot, as they should consider selling him this very summer.
Moreover, reports claim that's what the Italian goalkeeper wants, as he's already looking for a way out and was eyeing Real Madrid. It's an old desire that had never materialized, and now could be a good moment. Just as Madridists are searching for a replacement in the market for Courtois in the medium term.
However, PSG still sees Real Madrid as one of its biggest rivals on the scene. They haven't forgotten Mbappé's departure, who left for free to the white club. They're not going to sit down to negotiate with the whites for Donnarumma's transfer this summer.
The world cup complicates the Italian's arrival despite his desire
Donnarumma could do two things: one is to force his exit now, the other is to wait for Real Madrid. He knows he'd only have to hold out one more year to follow the same path as Mbappé. He could end up signing for the whites as a free agent, but that's a scenario that seems very complicated.
It's important to remember that next summer there's a national teams World Cup, and Donnarumma wants to be there. He knows that waiting for Real Madrid would carry the risk of missing out on it. That's why his idea is to sign for another club this very year, without the uncertainty that Madridists would bring.
Although Italy still has to secure qualification, Donnarumma can't delay his decision any longer. Meanwhile, PSG's refusal to negotiate with Real Madrid closes the door for him this summer. It's a tough blow for Madridists, who saw him as a good replacement for Courtois.
