Hard to celebrate PSG's Champions League win over Italian colleagues, says Donnarumma
Gianluigi Donnarumma found it difficult to celebrate Paris St Germain's Champions League win over Inter Milan with so many Italian teammates on the other side, the Italy keeper and captain said on Wednesday. Donnarumma was a spectator for much of Saturday's final in Munich, with PSG strolling to a 5-0 win, and after the final whistle was seen consoling Inter's shell-shocked players. The former AC Milan keeper has now joined up with Inter's Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, Nicolo Barella and Davide Frattesi at Italy's training camp ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers and was asked what he said to them. 'Nothing. There was a real heartfelt hug with those teammates after the game and I'm happy about that,' Donnarumma told reporters. 'I also struggled to enjoy the Champions League victory to the fullest because on the other side, there were my brothers with whom I share a lot. Here, we haven't spoken about that match, not even a few jokes. We only spoke about the next two games and giving everything together,' he added. Donnarumma, who has one year left on his PSG contract, has been linked with a move to Inter and was again asked about those media reports after his agent was seen at Inter's headquarters on Wednesday morning.

'I'm ready for anything, but now my first option is Paris because I'm fine, the fans love me, and the team loves me. I hope to stay there for many years,' he added. Donnarumma has not always convinced Italian fans and media, despite his penalty shootout saves leading to Italy's Euro 2020 triumph, with the keeper often criticised for errors. Now, however, he feels he is in the best form of his career, and a lot of that is down to PSG manager Luis Enrique. 'When you return to your own country and you're not welcomed as you deserve, it's not easy,' Donnarumma said. 'Now I'm happy to have found confidence, balance and mentality. I am happy to have convinced all Italians. With Luis Enrique I found balance on everything. He gave me a lot especially on a mental level,' he noted. Italy begins its qualifying campaign in Norway on Friday, before hosting Moldova on Monday, having failed to reach the last two World Cups.

Fabregas Shoots Down Inter Rumours; Remains 'Committed To Como's Long-Term Project'
Last Updated: Fabregas reassured fans of his commitment to Como, emphasizing his long-term vision and dedication despite Inter Milan rumors. It seems like it's long-term investments over short-term satisfaction for Cesc Fabregas. The Como manager reassured fans about his immediate future on Wednesday, amidst growing speculation that he might be Inter Milan's top candidate to replace the recently departed Simone Inzaghi. Fabregas, the former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea midfielder, has attracted attention from several top clubs after leading promoted Como to a 10th-place finish in Serie A last season. The Spaniard is also a shareholder in the club where he concluded his playing career. 'I truly believe in the Como project. I joined this club with a long-term vision. I don't want to end my career at a club where the project only lasts one or two years and then fades away," Fabregas stated at the SXSW conference in London. 'I am very committed to Como's long-term project. I came here as a player and am very happy because I can work the way I want. We share the same goals and ambitions. The president allows me to work according to my vision. advetisement 'Fortunately, we share the same vision and goals, aiming to achieve as much as possible. Together, we have built a strong team in a small city with a small club, but with big ambitions for the future," Fabregas concluded. Italian media reported that Inter wanted to speak to Fabregas after Inzaghi left by mutual agreement on Tuesday, following their 5-0 defeat against PSG in the Champions League final. Como president Mirwan Suwarso, however, dismissed the rumors and confirmed that Fabregas will not leave the club this summer, emphasising his key role. 'Our journey is long, spanning several seasons and centered around Cesc Fabregas, who will not leave the club," Suwarso stated at SXSW. Fabregas served as an assistant to former manager Osian Roberts as Como secured automatic promotion to the top flight last season. The 37-year-old also served as interim coach for a month after the sacking of Roberts' predecessor Moreno Longo in November, but could not take permanent charge until he obtained the coaching badges required by UEFA. Fabregas previously managed Como's youth team after retiring as a player in 2023, before taking over the first team in 2024. About the Author Siddarth Sriram First Published: June 04, 2025, 23:38 IST
