Annual salary of tens of millions is still not too small? Donnarumma s contract renewal game alarms the four major leagues

The renewal game of Paris Saint-Germain's goalkeeper Donaluma ushered in a critical juncture. According to the "Milan Sports Daily", the Italian country's contract renewal negotiations with Paris have been going on for several months. As the existing contract (expired in 2026) enters the second half of the execution period, the two sides are launching a final breakthrough on the core clause. Donnarumma's annual salary after tax is 10 million euros, but its team requires the club to provide "competitive salary upgrades", a demand that has triggered a chain of turmoil in the European transfer market.

Although Paris President Nasser previously stated that "no intention to release people at a low price", the top three Serie A have quietly launched Plan B: AC Milan fans are still worried about their free departure in 2021, while Juventus plans to restart their unsuccessful purchase plan this summer; although Inter Milan has suspended its action due to the stable state of main goalkeeper Sommer, it has included it in the 2024 visa-free list. What is more worthy of attention is the impact from the Bundesliga and La Liga - Bayern Munich is looking for a successor for 37-year-old Neuer, and Real Madrid is also evaluating a long-term alternative to Courtois (31 years old), and at least three championship-level clubs in the Premier League have sent informal offers to Donaluma's team.

This "goalkeeper battle" spanning the four major leagues is essentially the repositioning of its own market value by the Donaruma team. Data shows that its performance of averaging 3.2 saves and a 83% pass success rate per game in the past two seasons has ranked among the top three European goalkeepers. If Paris refuses to raise wages, a salary breakthrough can be achieved through transfers. The biggest suspense of the negotiations at present is: Is Paris willing to break the team's salary structure for a goalkeeper? The final direction of this annual salary tug-of-war may reshape the European goalkeeper position.
