COVERCIANO (ITALPRESS) –”The truth is that in recent days I’ve heard the transfer rumours, but I’ve always stayed calm. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to join City because they really wanted me — the coach (Guardiola) really wanted me — and that flattered me. Being wanted by such a prestigious club as City makes me proud; I’m excited and happy.” That’s what Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma said during a press conference in Coverciano, where the national team is preparing for Friday’s match in Bergamo against Estonia, valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“Luis Enrique? I’ve always had a great relationship with the coach. I appreciated him because he was straightforward with me right from the start, even before training camp. Disappointed? I don’t know — it’s only fair that every coach makes his own choices and has the power to decide. But having the support of everyone, especially my teammates, made me realize what I have done for Paris Saint-Germain. That’s the most important thing,” the Azzurri goalkeeper added.
