In a stunning turn of events, Gianluigi Donnarumma could be set for a sensational return to Milan, but this time donning the colors of Inter. Four years after his departure from AC Milan, the Italian goalkeeper’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain is being closely monitored by Inter’s management. With Donnarumma’s contract set to expire in June 2026, the same time as current Inter keeper Yann Sommer, this audacious idea from Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio could be facilitated by several factors.
Calciomercato report how one key element is the presence of Gianluca Spinelli as Inter’s goalkeeping coach. Spinelli, who joined Inter in 2023, previously worked at PSG for five years, including two seasons with Donnarumma. Their strong relationship could be a crucial factor in any potential move.
Additionally, Donnarumma’s connections with his national team colleagues at Inter, including Federico Dimarco, Nicolò Barella, and Alessandro Bastoni, could further entice him. The prospect of reuniting with his Euro 2020-winning teammates might appeal to Donnarumma after four years in France.
However, significant hurdles remain. Donnarumma’s current salary of €10 million net per season at PSG is beyond Inter’s reach. Moreover, with a year remaining on his contract after this season, PSG would demand a substantial fee for one of Europe’s top goalkeepers.
Inter would also need to address their current goalkeeping situation, with both Sommer and Josep Martinez under contract. Decisions would need to be made on which keeper to retain alongside a potential Donnarumma acquisition.
The goalkeeper’s future at PSG remains uncertain, with contract renewal talks currently at a standstill. His agent, Enzo Raiola, recently stated that negotiations are in a “stand-by phase,” leaving the door open for potential suitors.
