The Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma, 23, is not really used to mince words.
In an interview with AFP, the PSG goalkeeper explains that he expects a choice to be made to determine the hierarchy between him and Keylor Navas.
"I have a very good relationship with Keylor, we are two good guys, we understand the situation, but it was hard, and for him too, but let's say that we managed it well, with the whole group and especially between the two of us,” he answered a question about competing in his post.
I think it will surely not happen like that, because I think the club will make choices.

Donnarumma, in contract until 2026, underlines his desire to stay at the club and also returns to the two hardest moments to digest: the elimination in the Champions League against Real Madrid and his involvement in the Spaniards' first goal at the second leg and the non-qualification with Italy for the World Cup in Qatar.
“The goal was not valid, but we could have managed the sequel better,” he said.
We are very disappointed, like all the supporters, but we have to move forward, we can't wait to play the Champions League again to try to win it.

“I am not guilty of anything”
Does he feel guilty?
“No, absolutely not, we know how it happened, I am not guilty of anything, he replies.
We have to look ahead now, what's past is past, we can't do anything to go back and play the Champions League again quickly to show everyone who we are.
We received a blow, the following days were not easy, but there was nothing more we could do about it.

The same feeling inhabited him after the Italian fiasco.
"It was hard, very hard (sighs), the following days were very difficult, but as I just said, we can't go back," he adds.
What we did at the Euro will go down in history, we achieved something incredible.
But Italy has to go to the World Cup, and unfortunately we didn't make it.
But we must look ahead and leave.

In the end, this season will have been complicated for him.
“The beginnings were not easy, because it was my first outside Italy, in a new club, a new city, says Donnarumma.
But I feel a big family behind me, a big club, the welcome was great, and after all it was easier for me.
