Man City new boy Gianluigi Donnarumma reveals true feelings on Luis Enrique after being pushed out of PSG

Speaking to the media at a press conference while away with the Italy national team, Donnarumma covered a variety of subjects, as reported by Tuttomercato. A major talking point was when the 26-year-old was asked about his relationship with PSG manager Luis Enrique, who caused controversy when replacing his Champions League-winning goalkeeper with Lucas Chevalier over the summer, forcing Donnarumma out of the door and to the Premier League.

Luis Enrique stuck by his decision to leave Donnarumma out of the squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur last month, saying he was "100% responsible" for the decision and he needed a "different type of goalkeeper". Despite playing a leading role as PSG became European champions for the first time in their history just months prior, Donnarumma was faced with the exit door and ultimately completed a deadline day move to Manchester City for £26 million ($35m).

Donnarumma said: "I have always had a great relationship with the coach. He was direct with me, from the first days of retreat. Disappointed I don't know, everyone makes their own choices. The coach has the power to decide, but having the support of everyone - especially my teammates - made me understand what I had given to PSG and I think this is the most important thing. Because beyond football what remains is this, knowing the affection of the whole environment, of my teammates, made me proud of what I left behind."

Donnarumma will no doubt be a key talking point over the international break as his Italy side face Estonia and Israel in World Cup qualification. We will, soon enough, get to see Donnarumma make his Premier League debut for City - potentially against Manchester United, with whom he has also been linked this summer - and it will be intriguing viewing to see how he adapts to his new surroundings, following what was no doubt a turbulent summer on a personal level.
