Donnarumma played a key role in PSG’s دوري أبطال أوروبا win last season but just a few months later, things turned sour, and he was sold to City for £26 million ($35m).Now, Campos has hinted that the إيطاليا international asked for a salary that his performances did not merit.
He told RMC: “The club is more important than anyone else. That’s changed at PSG. Donnarumma, it’s a combination of circumstances that led to this decision. When he asks for a salary at the level of PSG before, not the current PSG. Our policy is very much linked to merit: you earn more when you deserve it, and when you play. We took time to discuss the Gigio issue. We were obliged to find solutions if we couldn’t reach an agreement with him.”
Much has been made of PSG moving on from their galacticos era of Kylian Mbappe, نيمار, and Lionel Messi, and playing more as a team under manager لويس إنريكي. And Campos reiterated that this is a collective effort, where individuals must get behind the French team’s vision.
He added, “The star is the club, it’s the whole group. The salary policy applies to everyone. The club’s stability won’t change based on a player who wants to be different. We’re going to protect PSG. We always want to play well and win matches. With this policy, everyone understands that the coach doesn’t give priority based on the player’s status or background. It’s not your background that will make you a starter at PSG. That’s our policy.”
The 26-year-old has made a bright start to life at City, beginning with their 3-0 win over Manchester متحد at the weekend. Now, the ex-ميلان star can look forward to their Champions League clash at home to Napoli on Thursday.
