 Gianluigi Donnarumma has become a superstar in the world of football after he helped Italy win the Euro Championship with his heroics in the penalty shootout in the final. Donnarumma saved two penalties against England, and his performances earned him the player of the tournament award. However, after he saved the final penalty from Bukayo Saka, it was his celebration or lack thereof that caught many people off guard. The Italian just walked calmly as his teammates rushed towards him to celebrate. Speaking to Sky Sport Italia. [https://sport.sky.it/calcio/europei/2021/07/13/donnarumma-rigori-italia-europei-video] , Donnarumma explained the reason for his “cold” celebration. “I didn’t celebrate on the penalty because I didn’t understand that we had won,” Donnarumma said. “I was already down after Jorginho’s missed penalty, and I thought we had lost, but instead, I had to continue.” “And now, with VAR, they always look at your feet since they can’t be in front [of the line], and so I turned to the referee to see if everything was okay. Then I turned and saw my teammates coming towards me, and everything kicked off from there. I didn’t understand anything,” he concluded. (Quotes have been translated via Google) GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA IS CLOSE TO JOINING PARIS SAINT GERMAIN His performance on the international stage has ensured that the 22-year-old goalkeeper will have a new club next season. His contract with former club AC Milan expired last season, and he left the club after being there since 2013. Milan also gave him his first senior start in 2015 when he was just 16. However, he has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers on the planet, and the French club has won the race for his signature. Donnarumma was spotted in Paris before his medicals with the club, and it provides a great conclusion on a long transfer saga that saw several twists and turns. The Italian has reportedly signed a contract till June 2026, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. However, it does bring up the question of a starting goalkeeper at PSG, as Keylor Navas was the starting goalkeeper at the club. It’s PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino’s decision now. However, there won’t be any surprises if he does give the number one shirt to Donnarumma ahead of Navas.
