Is Serie A no longer attracting players? It was around this question that the Italian goalkeeper expressed his point of view. In his opinion, recent statements like "Series A has lost its appeal" are exaggerated.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who previously joined Manchester City from Paris, spoke about the current level of Italian football. In his commentary, he emphasized the thought that "I often follow Serie A - it's a strong league, it has improved significantly." Each player makes their own choice, he emphasizes, therefore he categorizes the claim that "there are no talents in this championship" as nonsensical statements. "I hear such nonsense almost every week," he said, but reminded me that there are a lot of high-quality and strong young players in the national team.
To the question, "Is it true that Italian players are moving to the Premier League because Serie A doesn't attract them?" he openly responded: this is a one-sided notion. Donnarumma emphasized that who plays where is determined by working conditions, personal goals, project quality, and any desired problems; generalizing and belittling an entire league is pointless. "I hear a lot of nonsense, but I want to say that there are enough qualified young players in the national team. As time passes, self-confidence grows - everyone knows this. I'm confident that all of Italy will do a great job, and we will achieve a lot," Futbol Italia quoted Donnarumma as saying.
Two important theses stand out among his statements. The first is a positive assessment of the appearance of Serie A in recent seasons, the level of competition, and tactical diversity. The second is confidence in the younger generation: talent in reserve, despite external pressures, serves to further raise the level of the team with self-confidence and patience.
At this point, it is necessary to pay attention to another aspect: transition statistics and public opinion are not always on the same line. Some large transfers can disrupt the harmony in the background and create the impression that "everyone is leaving." But, as Donnarumma said, each player chooses their own path - someone pursues a new project, someone a guarantee of the starting lineup, or international goals. Putting this process into a single template and judging the entire championship is far from fair.
The final conclusion is clear: saying "it won't attract anymore" regarding Serie A is nonsense. As the youth of the Italian national team matures step by step and strengthens their confidence on the field, it is natural that this project will become even stronger. Donnarumma's words give the same signal to both fans and players: faith in a big goal, tireless work, and time bring results.
