Gianluigi Donnarumma refused to commit his future to Paris Saint-Germain in the immediate aftermath of their Champions League final success.
The French side cantered to a record breaking 5-0 win over Inter in Munich to cement their status as Europe’s best side.
Donnarumma played a key role en route to the final, producing man of the match displays against Arsenal in both legs of the previous round.
The Italy international goalkeeper was hardly troubled against Inter, however, as those in front of him produced a stunning performance that yielded the biggest ever winning margin in the final of the competition.
Donnarumma’s future, however, is currently a matter of uncertainty given his contract expires in 12 months’ time.
Asked if he would sign a new deal, the former Milan No.1 said: ‘I don’t know, we’ll see.
‘Now we have two important games to qualify for the World Cup, so we must be concentrated and ready, especially in Norway, which is going to be really complicated.’

Donnarumma’s immediate focus will centre on celebrating a victory that was masterminded by PSG coach Luis Enrique.
The Spaniard is now only the second man in European football history to win the treble with two different clubs after PSG’s domestic clean sweep this season.
‘The coach gives us freedom, calm, the time to stay home with our families, because when preparing these important games, I think the more you are in the training ground thinking about it, the more pressure it builds.
‘This is his philosophy and it works, I agree with it. We were so calm and confident, it barely felt like a Champions League Final.
‘I know how much Italians care about this, I know the amount of determination they put into these situations, but we were so perfectly set-out, we had a lot of movement on the field and gave no reference points.
‘I think that really helped too.’
On the moment that changed PSG’s campaign, he added: ‘There was everything in these tears, the tough season where we were almost out of the Champions League, losing 2-0 to Manchester City at home and reacted.
‘That was where our fightback started and now we will enjoy every moment, because it has been an extraordinary season.’
