Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma was visibly moved as his Paris Saint-Germain teammates allowed him to say goodbye to the fans, having been pushed out by the club.
The goalkeeper was instrumental in their Champions League triumph last season, which was the icing on the cake of the Ligue 1, Coupe de France and French Super Cup trophies.
MUNICH, GERMANY – MAY 31: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain kisses the UEFA Champions League trophy after his team’s victory, to secure Paris Saint-Germain’s first ever UEFA Champions League title in the club’s history and a record UEFA Champions League Final winning scoreline of 5-0, following the UEFA Champions League Final 2025 between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano at Munich Football Arena on May 31, 2025 in Munich, Germany.

He was told to find himself a new club this summer, as PSG were not prepared to maintain his current wages and the current contract is set to expire in June 2026.
Donnarumma was even left out of the squad for the European Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur and tonight’s Ligue 1 home match against Angers.

However, during the celebration after the 1-0 victory looking back over their many trophies, Donnarumma’s teammates formed a circle and pushed him forward to accept the cheers of the fans.
Notably, coach Luis Enrique and the PSG directors were on the other side of the pitch during this moment, confirming it was a gesture made only by the players.

Captain Marquinhos then hugged a visibly moved Donnarumma and continued leading the cheers and chants for the Italian, making sure he toured the whole stadium to salute everyone.
He is expected to join Manchester City.
