In an interview with the English press, Gianluigi Donnarumma dropped a bomb that’s making waves in Paris: “I’d rather have Erling Haaland than Kylian Mbappé in my team.”
The Italian goalkeeper left PSG quietly this summer — at least on paper. Behind the scenes, sources say his demand for a hefty pay rise pushed the club to let him go. His new home? Manchester City. And since joining Pep Guardiola’s side, Donnarumma hasn’t stopped gushing about his love for the Sky Blues in interviews and on social media.
His latest statement is his boldest yet. When asked to compare the two global superstars, the ex-Paris keeper added: “Haaland has the most powerful shot in football. He’s left-footed, which makes him very different from Kylian Mbappé. They’re both tough to face, so it’s complicated to compare.”
Mbappé’s close friends like Dembélé and Hakimi still at PSG
Still, the damage is done. Donnarumma’s words are likely to raise eyebrows in the PSG dressing room, especially among Mbappé’s close friends like Dembélé and Hakimi.
The quote has already gone viral online, and once again, the Italian shot-stopper finds himself at the center of the storm. From Paris to Manchester, Donnarumma seems to have changed sides… and isn’t afraid to say it out loud.
