PSG Signs Gianluigi Donnarumma. Euro 2020 player of the Tournament Gianluigi Donnarumma signs five-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer; 22-year-old goalkeeper was unable to agree a new contract with AC Milan, who he has represented since the age of 14.
The 22-year-old joins on a free transfer from AC Milan after he was unable to agree terms over an extension to his deal which ran out on June 30.
PSG beat competition from Barcelona to land the highly-rated goalkeeper, who will earn around 12m Euros (£10.3m) per year plus add-ons in France.
“I am delighted to be part of this huge club,” Donnarumma told PSG’s club website.
“I feel ready to take on this new challenge and continue to grow here. With Paris, I want to win as much as possible and to bring joy to the supporters.”
Donnarumma flew into Paris on Wednesday for the first time to complete his move, days after helping Italy win Euro 2020, their first major title in 15 years.
He was named Euro 2020’s Player of the Tournament by UEFA minutes after saving Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka’s penalties in England’s final defeat to Italy on Sunday.
The goalkeeper was pivotal to the success of Roberto Mancini’s side, keeping three clean sheets in their three group games and saving decisive spot-kicks in their penalty shootout wins against Spain and England.
Donnarumma made 251 appearances for the club in all competitions, keeping 88 clean sheets, since coming through the youth ranks in 2015 aged just 16.
