PSG’s Campos hints Donnarumma pay stance led to sale

Gianluigi Donnarumma (Man City)
September 2025

PSG advisor Luis Campos implied Donnarumma’s salary demands didn’t fit the club’s new merit-based wage policy, after the keeper—fresh off a UCL title—was sold to Man City for approximately £26–35m. Message: the badge is bigger than any star’s pay packet.Campos framed negotiations as lengthy and principle-driven: higher pay must match minutes and performance. PSG’s pivot to financial discipline mirrors wider trends—fewer mega guarantees, more incentives—shaping renewal talks elsewhere and explaining exits when alignment can’t be found.
