Sources: Donnarumma robbed, attacked in Paris

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and his partner, Alessia Elefante, were attacked and robbed at their home in Paris in the early hours of Friday morning, sources have told ESPN.

The couple were tied up at their home in the French capital but managed to escape to a nearby luxury hotel at 3.30 a.m. local time, where staff raised an alarm. The pair were later taken to hospital.

Donnarumma sustained light injuries, while Elefante was unharmed, sources have told ESPN.

“A police investigation has been opened for armed robbery in an organised gang and aggravated violence following the incidents which happened overnight at Mr. Donnarumma’s flat,” the Paris prosecutor’s office told ESPN.

The robbers took €500 000 ($556,430) worth of jewellery, luxury bags and watches, sources added.
