Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma has been named Best Goalkeeper in Ligue 1 for his performances at Paris Saint-Germain.
The UNFP held its equivalent of the Players’ Association Awards this evening and Donnarumma got the golden gloves.
Now aged 25, the Italian left Milan as a free agent to join PSG in the summer of 2021 and could sign a new contract.
He won three editions of the Ligue 1 title and two French Super Cups.
Donnarumma’s second UNFP award
This is his second victory as goalkeeper of the year in France after winning the UNFP award in 2022.
As for the other awards, the best French player abroad was named Antoine Griezmann at Atletico Madrid.
Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan had been among the nominees, but not Scudetto winners Marcus Thuram or Benjamin Pavard of Inter.
