Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma revealed the rivalry with Keylor Navas at Paris Saint-Germain ‘disturbs me’, as he was ‘used to always starting’ at Milan.

The Azzurri shot stopper joined PSG on a free transfer after EURO 2020, as his contract with the Rossoneri expired in June 2020.

But the Italy international has struggled to establish himself at the Parc des Princes in the French capital.

So far, the 22-year-old has played twice in the Champions League and five times in Ligue 1, meaning he has only taken part in 38 per cent of the total minutes available at club level in 2021-22.

He continues to be the protagonist with Italy, however, but admitted the battle with Navas at club level is difficult.

“It has no effect on my performances, but it ‘disturbs’ me,” Donnarumma told TNT Sport. “It’s not easy, because I was used to always starting and sometimes it hurts to be on the bench.

“But I’m sure the situation will be resolved.”

10 thought on “Donnarumma on rivalry with Navas: ‘It disturbs me’”
  1. “Will be resolved”

    Guess Mino will help you kick Navas out of PSG? This kid doesn’t know the meaning of reality slap.

    The money should be enough to shield you from the pain and make you smile on the bench. Have fun Gigio

  2. Idiot Who got tricked by his agent, the agent made huge sums on the free transfer. Giro makes less after tax then the milan offer and is seconde keeper in psg. Karma is strange.

  3. Mini is a money hungry pos. Don’t know why players hire him. Donna needs to be playing and should not have left milan for money. Become the best in the world first, the money will come. If you don’t play, at this age especially, becoming thr best won’t happen

  4. “it disturbs me”? LOL. It’s called competition. If you cannot best out a 35 year old guess what you don’t deserve to start. What a baby. This kid is entitled. Respect must be earned not given. He obviously does not have the respect of all the PSG players nor the coach yet – that is why he sits. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. You took the money and decided to leave Milan. Now be a man and quit your pathetic whining and EARN your starting spot like every one else.

  5. “It will be resolved” is the funniest thing I’ve read. Is Raiola gonna fix that one for you as well? What’s his commission this time?

    Come back to Milan. We’ll accept you as Second choice as well, and here you might win a league trophy… oh. AND you’ll make more money
