It’s been coming and now it’s finally completed – Gianluigi Donnarumma is a Paris Saint Germain club. The Italian hero from the Euro 2020 tournament arrives to France as a free agent following the expiration of his AC Milan contract on 1 July.The saga of Gigio’s contract talks has been ongoing for months and Milan had to admit that they simply do not have the financial muscle to compete with the rich Parc des Princes club. PSG were favourites to capture the Azzurri international and they’ve finally got their man.Buongiorno 🧤#WelcomeGigio pic.twitter.com/jqyRdRjcLa— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) July 14, 2021 Donnarumma has signed a five-year contract and will earn around $70 million over the duration of his contract. However, the money won’t come easy. A third of that amount will depend on various conditions and will be based on his performances. But, with the talent and experience he’d amassed in his career already, there is no doubt that the Parisians have gotten a long-term solution in their goal. The man who won the Euro 2020 just a few days ago was delighted to start this new part of his club career.”I live a lot of emotions, between the victory at the Euro and my arrival today. I am here, I am very happy to be a part of this great club and I am here to try to win. It’s a great club, with a great history and I’m happy to be able to be a part of it. I am opening a new chapter in my life, I grew up in Milan a lot, and now I feel ready for this new adventure here. Paris is one of the best clubs in the world, so I’m proud to be here, and I hope I can accomplish great things there.”PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino has gotten a great tool for his job, but will also need to solve the problem of Keylor Navas. The Costa Rica international has been in exceptional form since joining the club from Real Madrid. There are reports that suggest that he’s taken the signing of Donnarumma as the questioning of his ability and value to the team. There will be a potential problem in the dressing room if Pochettino doesn’t resolve the matter soon. But for now, last season’s Ligue 1 second-placed team will boast another high-profile signing.✅ Win Euro 2020✅ Sign for PSGWhat a few days for Gianluigi Donnarumma! pic.twitter.com/TkbQEUVVuC— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 14, 2021 During this transfer window, Paris have already secured the transfers of Georginio Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi and Sergio Ramos. They will be a force to be reckoned with once more as they start the chase for the elusive Champions League title. Gigio is sure he’s come to the right place.“My goal is to grow more and more by always training to the maximum and never setting limits. I have accumulated a little experience in recent years. I feel ready to take on this important but magnificent new challenge. I want to win as much as possible and give joy to the supporters. I was able to talk to the coach before coming here, we talked a bit, he was happy that I came. He’s a great coach and a great man, so I’m also very happy to be here with him. We want to do great things together. The best training is also that. I’m going to train with the best in the world, so I’m definitely going to improve. I am ready to train and play in contact with these great champions.”
