Paris Saint-Germain strategic adviser Luis Campos has attributed the club\u2019s decision to put Gianluigi Donnarumma up for sale this summer to salary demands as much as tactical choice. Donnarumma confirmed his own departure as early as Aug. 12 after being dropped from the first-team squad in favour of summer recruit Lucas Chevalier. The Italy international said that \u201csomeone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group\u201d shortly before manager Luis Enrique accepted responsibility, explaining he wanted \u201ca different profile\u201d of goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
Campos framed the episode as a financial recalibration. Donnarumma had entered the final 12 months of his PSG contract and extension talks had so far proved fruitless. \u201cThe club is more important than anyone else,\u201d Campos told RMC Sport. \u201cThat\u2019s changed at PSG. Donnarumma, it was a combination of circumstances that led to this decision. When he asks for a salary at the level of PSG before, not the current PSG…\u201d<\/p>\n
The adviser went on to describe how the club is moving away from high guaranteed wages toward agreements with significant performance-related bonuses. \u201cOur policy is very much based on merit: you earn more when you deserve it, and when you play,\u201d he said, adding that the club had \u201ctook time to discuss the Gigio issue. We were obliged to find solutions if we couldn\u2019t reach an agreement with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donnarumma\u2019s agent Enzo Raiola disputed the sequence of events from his client\u2019s side, saying the goalkeeper did accept a lower salary during negotiations last season only to see the club \u201cchange the rules of the game.\u201d Talks were reportedly postponed until after the Champions League final, when PSG \u201cconfirmed their desire to continue,\u201d before the club altered its position in early August.<\/p>\n
Campos was firm that the new approach is universal. \u201cThe salary policy applies to everyone,\u201d he shrugged. The club\u2019s explanation frames the transfer decision as the intersection of contract timing, renewed wage policy and squad planning rather than a single tactical judgement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
