Agent Confirms Inter Milan Target & Italy Superstar Falls Out With PSG: 'Appalled, We Are Considering Legal Action'
Speaking to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, his agent, Enzo Raiola, confirmed an unexpected breakdown in relations with the club.
Despite his indispensable status in Paris, Gianluigi Donnarumma has suddenly become an unpopular figure.
Indeed, head coach Luis Henrique has omitted him from the squad for tonight's UEFA Super Cup.
PSG will take on Tottenham Hotspur without the 26-year-old, who has entered the final year of his contract.
Despite ongoing discussions, the parties could go separate ways as early as this summer.
Les Parisiens have offered the former AC Milan goalkeeper a new deal worth around €8 million net per season.
However, Donnarumma's current wages stand at €11.5 million, which explains the disagreements.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan and Manchester City are keeping close tabs on the situation, looking to seize a potential opportunity.

'From Gigio's words, it's clear that he's very disappointed,' Raiola said. 'I am astonished: four years of respect and great results, and in just ten days, an entire castle has truly collapsed.
'They risk erasing everything he has achieved with PSG.
'The situation dragged on: PSG made requests different from the standard contract.
'Gigio even accepted reduced conditions; he was happy to be here, and the results came.
'When we decided to move forward, the terms suddenly changed, and we stopped everything.
'In Los Angeles, they confirmed everything to me, and I told them that Gigio had another year left and preferred not to do anything else.
'What happened in the last few days is unexpected, a huge lack of respect.
'The coach works for the club; we'll see, with our lawyers, what position they've taken.'

Swansea City ratings as full-back shines in win over Sheffield United
Swansea City picked up their first win of the new Championship season by edging their way to an impressive 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at the Stadium. Ronald's goal midway through the second half proved enough to hand victory to Alan Sheehan's men. Here's how the players rated on the day. READ MORE: BBC announce name change to famous Match of the Day show after Gary Lineker exit READ MORE: Teenage footballer ridiculed by online trolls as club pull big announcement Lawrence Vigouroux 7 Didn't end up really making a save, but was pretty tidy when called upon. Josh Key 8 - STAR MAN So much energy on the right hand side. Did well defensively too, making some key clearances. Often in and around some Swansea's brightest moments. Ben Cabango (c) 8 Strong in the tackle. Made some really good interceptions too. Cameron Burgess 8 As above, really. Josh Tymon 8 Bombed up and down the left all day. Another superb showing. Goncalo Franco 7 Battled fairly well in the middle of the park, but wasn't quite his most influential game. Malick Yalcouye 7 Some really promising moments, including an early blocked shot. But was also caught in possession a couple of times. A solid debut, but hopefully more to come. Ronald 8 Should probably have scored in the first half, but put some good crosses in, and took his goal well. A good outing on the whole. Ethan Galbraith 7 Looked after possession reasonably well and linked up nicely with his colleagues in the final third. Good out of possession too. Jisung Eom 7 Really good in the build-up, but couldn't quite find a decisive outcome in the final third at times. Liam Cullen 7 Isolated for much of the first half, but was involved in the goal and grew into the game reasonably well. Subbed. Subs: Melker Widell (on for Yalcouye 62) - Should have scored a second for his side late on, but did okay - 6 Zeidane Inoussa (on for Eom 62) - Architect of the goal. Really good cameo - 7 Jay Fulton (on for Ronald 90) - N/A Bobby Wales (on for Cullen 90+7) - N/A

Spurs get Frank off to flier, Sunderland win on Premier League return
Richarlison scored twice to give Tottenham manager Thomas Frank a dream home debut with a 3-0 win over Burnley on Saturday, while Sunderland shocked West Ham 3-0 on their return to the Premier League. Frank was seconds away from launching his era in charge with a trophy until a late Paris Saint-Germain revival won the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday. The former Brentford boss replaced Ange Postecoglou despite the Australian ending Spurs' 17-year trophy drought by lifting the Europa League. However, Postecoglou was undone by a miserable return of six home league wins last season as Tottenham finished just above the relegation zone in 17th. Richarlison made the most of the faith shown in him by Frank as the Brazilian turned in Mohammed Kudus' cross to open the scoring. The pair combined again on the hour in more spectacular fashion as Richarlison's bicycle kick crashed in the Ghanaian's delivery from the right. Brennan Johnson was Tottenham's hero of the Europa League final with the only goal against Manchester United and he began the new season by racing clear to slot in the third. Burnley racked up 100 points in their Championship promotion campaign last season but did little to suggest they will buck the trend of sides being relegated straight back to the second tier. For the past two seasons, all three promoted teams have gone down. However, big-spending Sunderland enjoyed a dream return to the top-flight with a second-half demolition of West Ham. Former Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka is among pool of new signings attracted to the Stadium of Light. But it was three players key to their promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since 2017 who scored. Eliezer Mayenda's looping header gave the Black Cats lift off on the hour mark. Centre-back Dan Ballard headed in the second before Wilson Isidor rounded off a huge win in stoppage time. - Newcastle miss Isak - Newcastle missed the unsettle Alexander Isak as they failed to find the breakthrough against 10-man Aston Villa in a 0-0 draw at Villa Park. The Magpies were the dominant side even before Ezri Konsa's red card for bringing down Antony Gordon 24 minutes from time. Isak had not been involved during Newcastle's pre-season as he appears determined to force through a move to Liverpool, who reportedly saw a £110 million ($149 million) offer for the Swedish striker rejected. The two clubs face off in their next league match at St. James' Park on August 25. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said he wants an end to the saga one way or another. "From my perspective, you want a resolution quickly. It's taking away the focus of the players and the supporters," said Howe "We want to be united together. We'd like a resolution, but we're not in control of that." Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz struck in the 96th minute to salvage a 1-1 draw at Brighton after Matt O'Riley's penalty put the Seagulls in front. Manchester City begin their campaign away to Wolves later on Saturday, hoping to bounce back into contenders for the title after a season to forget in 2024/25. Arsenal are not in action until Sunday when they travel to face a transformed Manchester United attack. Defending champions Liverpool began their title defence with a dramatic 4-2 win over Bournemouth on Friday thanks to late goals from Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa. kca/pb

What did we learn from Thomas Frank's first game in charge of Tottenham Hotspur?
Tottenham Hotspur are off and running under Thomas Frank, who watched with glee as his new side brushed aside newly promoted Burnley to open the 2025-26 Premier League season on Saturday. SPURS 3- BURNLEY — Video highlights & recap | Thomas Frank reaction Frank was brought in to replace Ange Postecoglou this summer, just weeks after he delivered the club its first trophy in 17 years. It would have been an agonizing decision for chairman Daniel Levy to make, but the early returns have been positive as the club chases additional transfers to bolster the squad for the UEFA Champions League this season. Mohammed Kudus hits the ground running For the first time in a very long time, Spurs find themselves without a readily identifiable talisman — a current and future legend of the club around whom the side is built — and while that is certainly a scary proposition, that unknown factor should be a point of excitement for supporters as the club moves into a brand new era. That said, Mohammed Kudus is going to terrorize defenders this season, just as he did with a pair of assists on opening day. It was clear each of the last two seasons that Kudus was West Ham's biggest game-changer, but also that he was asked to do far too much in a(n overly defensive) team that often played with just one or two attackers at a time. At Spurs, under Frank, he looked freer than he ever has and a constant threat down the right wing. Both Richarlison and Dominic Solanke are solid targets to ping crosses at, which adds another dimension to his game, accounting for both assists against Burnley. Three center backs vs the big boys, two against everyone else Against PSG, arguably the best club team in the world right now, it was Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Kevin Danso in a back-three with Pedro Porro and Djed Spence providing all the width from endline to endline (attacking with two, plus whatever support came from two defensive midfielders and Pape Matar Sarr). Against Burnley, a newly promoted side, it was the same personnel (minus Danso) in a back-four, meaning Mohammed Kudus and Brennan Johnson would provide the width in attack and link up Richarlison in the final third (plus loads of support from midfield, in the form of Lucas Bergvall and Sarr). This tracks with everything we said after the PSG game. Two very distinctive looks created by swapping a center back for a winger, and injecting a bit of attacking flair (and legs) in the midfield. Pape Matar Sarr is primed for a breakout season Whether or not Spurs sign a no. 10 (Eberechi Eze) before the summer transfer window closes, Sarr is going to have a massive part to play this season. He'll likely be the go-to option in the above 'big boys' scenario, when Frank prioritizes defensive solidity and work rate over creativity and ingenuity. The 22-year-old already has 4,200 Premier League minutes under his belt and played just about every midfield role under the sun when Ange Postecoglou was in charge. And that makes Sarr the prototypical midfielder for Frank, who drills the tactical side of the game into his players like nobody's business but still asks them to get forward at any opportunity and make up the numbers in attack. Sarr was fantastic against PSG and was again a huge influence against Burnley, picking up an assist to start his 2025-26 campaign.
