GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA’S agent slammed Paris Saint-Germain for showing the goalie “zero respect” and threatened legal action over his potential Premier League transfer.
Enzo Raiola – the cousin of late super-agent Mino who died in 2022 – blasted PSG after they axed Donnarumma from their squad and replaced him with Lucas Chevalier.
Donnarumma is now keen on a move to the Prem and is on Manchester City’s list of targets if Ederson leaves before the end of the month.
His agent Raiola believes the time is right for him to move to England after four years in France.
Raiola said: “We will consider solutions now, maybe in the Premier League there will be clubs able to pay what’s needed.
“The Premier League would be the right step in my view and we’re working on it. There are no talks with Italian clubs.”
Raiola also accused PSG of showing a lack of respect for Donnarumma and has consulted lawyers over a response.
Raiola added: “We are shocked. There is zero respect after four years together.
“We will consider the situation with our legal team.
“Paris are asking for big money. They talk about respect but it’s only about the money.”
City insisted on Wednesday there had been no bids for Ederson – despite reported interest from Galatasaray and previously Saudi Arabia.
Pep Guardiola would be happy to keep the 31-year-old Brazilian who is going into the final year of his contract at the Etihad.
However, City are making sure they are prepared for all outcomes and have Donnarumma on their list of replacements.
They re-signed James Trafford from Burnley last month for £27m.
Meanwhile, Stefan Ortega remains on the books despite being linked with a return to Germany.
