Revealed: Why PSG let Gianluigi Donnarumma leave after new £26m Man City star shone on debut in Manchester derby

PSG sporting director Luis Campos has opened up on the reasons why Gianluigi Donnarumma was allowed to join Manchester City this summer.

Donnarumma, 26, helped PSG to their first Champions League crown last season but was told by Luis Enrique that he was surplus to requirements following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier from Lille this summer.

The Italian, who is regarded by many as the world's best goalkeeper, ultimately joined City for just £26million and impressed on his debut in their 3-0 victory over Man United on Sunday.

And Campos, who helped to build the team that took PSG to new heights last season, has given context to the decision to move on Donnarumma.
