Last night, European media simultaneously reported that goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, currently playing for Manchester City, was arrested by French police in Paris. The reason is said to be because he was suspected of using and possessing banned substances at a private party held at his villa, right after celebrating the victory with his team in the Premier League.

According to police sources, they received an anonymous call reporting that at Donnarumma’s villa there was “suspicious activity” related to the use of banned substances. When the authorities arrived to check, they discovered a number of strange chemicals and utensils suspected of being used to mix them. At the same time, there were about 20 people attending the party, including a number of players and celebrities.

Donnarumma was immediately taken to the police headquarters for questioning along with a few close friends. This news quickly exploded on social networks, shocking fans around the world. A series of comments appeared on Twitter and Instagram, most of which were bewildered:

“No way! Donnarumma is a private and professional person, how could he be involved in this?” – a fan commented.

Meanwhile, Manchester City also quickly issued a brief statement:

“The club has been informed about the incident involving player Gianluigi Donnarumma. We are cooperating with the authorities and will not make any further comments until there is an official conclusion.”

In the first hours after the incident, many major newspapers such as L’Équipe and The Sun affirmed that Donnarumma’s situation was “extremely serious”, and could even affect his career in England. However, the developments that followed took a completely different direction.

According to the latest information from the Paris police, Donnarumma was not the owner or direct user of banned substances, but only accidentally became an “accomplice” because he let others take advantage of his house. Specifically, a close friend of the Italian goalkeeper – believed to be the party organizer – secretly brought banned substances into the house and stored them in a private area without Donnarumma’s knowledge.

After more than 6 hours of interrogation, Donnarumma was completely released, not prosecuted and only asked to cooperate further in the investigation. His lawyer, Mr. Marc Deschamps, stated:

“My client is completely innocent. Gianluigi was not aware of any illegal activities taking place in his house. He has fully cooperated with the police and is now home safely.”

An inside source from Man City also confirmed that Donnarumma will return to training in the next few days and this incident “does not affect his position in the first team.” Teammates at the club have expressed their support, while fans have started sending messages of support to the goalkeeper on social media.

In conclusion, the incident seemed to be a huge shock in Donnarumma’s career, but it was eventually confirmed that it was just an unfortunate misunderstanding. He was not accused, did not use banned substances, and was just a victim of trouble dragged into by a close acquaintance.

👉 Gianluigi Donnarumma is now safe, innocent and ready to return to the pitch – proving that sometimes, the truth needs time to emerge.
