Paris has issued an order to expel Donaluma

This summer, Paris Saint-Germain sports director Louis Campos set two priority signing goals for the club. One of them has been completed, and Paris officially announced the signing of goalkeeper Schalier. Paris' goalkeeper position seemed to have been solid at the end of last season, but there have been significant changes this summer.
What's wrong with Donnarumma?
Donaruma was one of the best goalkeepers last season and a strong contender for the Yassin Award, but now suddenly becomes redundant in Paris. Currently, the player earns nearly 13 million euros annually, while he demands 15 million euros in his new contract.
Considering the extremely high tax rate in France, this number seems too high even for Paris. Donnarumma's existing contract with the Italian goal will last until the end of the season, so Paris will either renew or sell him. The club does not want to repeat his mistakes when he left the team freely in AC Milan.
Paris believes it is more reasonable to let the Italian go this summer, especially as a replacement has been found. In addition, Donnarumma's performance lacks stability. Fans around the world have seen his wonderful saves in the Champions League knockout stage, but throughout the season he has failed to impress, sometimes losing to Safonov in the competition.
Donnarumma only completed 4 clean sheets throughout the Ligue 1 season. Considering Paris' dominant style of play, this is really not much. Fans who have watched the league game against Arsenal last season know that top goalkeepers can't perform like that.
Another weakness is his foot skills, which is crucial to Louis Enrique's team.
Donarumma himself has not commented on the rumors, but he is far from delighted at the prospect of leaving the team. However, after Schevaliye officially announced his joining, his choice became limited. According to Sky Sports reporters, the Italian received an ultimatum similar to: "Either leave now or have no balls to play in the next year." Considering the upcoming US World Cup (Italy still needs to qualify for the competition), sitting on the bench for a year is by no means an attractive prospect.
For potential buyers, the asking price is not astronomical: Paris is willing to let him leave the team for 25 million to 30 million euros. It is reported that the main suitors are Inter Milan and Manchester City's twins (Manchester City and Manchester United). Manchester City may send Ederson to Türkiye, while Manchester United still has Onana guarding the goal.
According to media reports, on August 13, Paris will play Tottenham in the European Super Cup, and Schwarier is expected to start. Meanwhile, Donnarumma may not even make the roster.
Shevalier - the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1, the director is very fond of this French goalkeeper. This French goalkeeper has played for Lille before, but has long surpassed Lille's platform level. Like Donarumma, Shevalier was also shortlisted for the Yasin Awards and he did it on a much weaker team.
Interestingly, when he was in Lille, he worked with Meinion and admitted that he learned a lot from the latter. Now, 23-year-old Schwarier is competing with Menion (30, AC Milan goalkeeper) for the No. 1 position of the French national team. At present, Deschamps trusts more experienced Menion, but Schwarier has a full chance to change this situation. At the end of the season, Schwarier was selected for the Ligue 1 team of the year, and he was one of only two non-Paris players on the roster (the other is Lyon's Serky). Louis Campos personally organized the transfer, and he knew Schwarier when he was in Lille. A key factor in persuading Enrique was Schevalier's better footwork than Donnarumma, and the French goalkeeper attributed this to Menion's influence.
Last season, Schwarier's expected goal loss value after saving was as high as +8.39, ranking first among all European goalkeepers under 23 years old. He is also highly regarded in France for his calmness and character: he will not collapse after making mistakes, and prefers to communicate with senior teammates rather than hang out with young players.
Transfer fees are fixed amounts of €40 million, plus potential bonuses up to €15 million. This makes Schwarier tied with Ederson, becoming the fifth most valuable goalkeeper in history. Only Kepa (80 million euros), Alisson (62 million euros), Buffon (53 million euros) and Onana (52.5 million euros) have higher transfer fees.
