Paris Saint-Germain might be ready to part ways with Gianluigi Donnarumma as his mistakes in crucial matches raise concerns. As a result, Manager Luis Enrique could be on the lookout for a goalkeeper who aligns more closely with his vision for the team.
Donnarumma had a rough outing against Arsenal in Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League, where he made two significant blunders that led to the Gunners’ goals. The first mistake came when he ventured off his line to claim a seemingly harmless cross, but his decision backfired as Kai Havertz headed the ball into the net.
The second goal was a free-kick taken by Bukayo Saka. Although he faced some obstruction that might have affected his sight, Donnarumma attempted to parry the ball but missed completely, allowing it to slip past him into the goal.
These errors have sparked speculation that PSG might be looking to make a change in goalkeeping in the near future. The club are reportedly targeting an emerging talent from Barcelona to strengthen their options in that position.
PSG have Barcelona standout on their radar
When Marc-André ter Stegen suffered a long-term injury earlier in the season, there were plenty of doubts about whether Iñaki Peña could step up and fill the German’s shoes in goal.
Peña’s performances have caught the attention of top clubs, with a recent report from Fichajes revealing some intriguing details. The clubs in question are Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, both managed by former Barcelona coaches Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique.
Both clubs view Peña as a solid alternative to their current first-choice goalkeepers. In fact, PSG already secured a Barcelona goalkeeper in Arnau Tenas last year and is now considering a move for Peña as a potential backup for Donnarumma.
How much could Peña cost? Transfermarkt puts the 25-year-old’s value at €8 million, with the player’s contract running until 2026.
