Gianluigi Donnaruma

Gianluigi "Gigio" Donnarumma or just Donnaruma (born 25th February 1999) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Italy national team. He is generally regarded by peers, critics and coaches as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He began his career with Milan in 2015, becoming the second youngest goalkeeper ever to debut in Serie A, aged 16 years and 242 days; he immediately broke into the starting line-up, earning a reputation as one of the most promising young goalkeepers at the time. He also broke the record as the youngest Italy under-21 player ever to play, aged 17 years and 28 days in March 2016. Six months later, he made his senior international debut, becoming the youngest goalkeeper ever to appear for Italy, aged 17 years and 189 days.

He spent ten years in Milan, winning the Serie A in 2020-2021 and the Italian Cup in 2022, before moving to French giants Paris Saint-Germain for 40 million euros in 2025. He has since won the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 title, and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

As an international, Donnaruma has made 89 caps for his national team. He has competed with Italy at the 2018, 2022 and 2026 FIFA World Cups and the 2020 and 2024 UEFA European Championships. He came second in the FIFA BallonD'or in 2023, becoming the first goalkeeper to be named in the final three since Manuel Neuer in 2014.
