Donnarumma is not involved in the match in Udine, Italy, on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper, who has a contract with PSG until the summer of 2026, will not take part in the match. Journalist Fabrizio Romano gave an update on social media on Monday evening.
Romano wrote: “Paris Saint-Germain excludes Gigio Donnarumma from the squad for the UEFA Super Cup. Donnarumma will not sign a new deal with PSG – there is no agreement, and he will 100% leave the club either this summer or in 2026 as a free agent. Gigio’s representatives feel that this is an unfair situation for the goalkeeper.”
The Mirror reported at the weekend that the French champions were willing to accept a reduced transfer fee of around £26 million for the Italian goalkeeper, with Manchester United being one of the clubs heavily linked with a potential transfer.
ESPN also claimed that Donnarumma is of interest to Inter Milan, despite his association with city rivals AC Milan.
The goalkeeper was central to PSG’s treble-winning season last year and has made 161 appearances for the French club since joining in 2021.
The news of his exclusion may come as a surprise, as he has previously stated that his priority was to stay at the club.
In June, Donnarumma said, “My priority is to stay at Paris Saint-Germain and sign a new deal. I don’t think there will be any problems.”
