If Milan are first in the table, they must thank Gianluigi Donnarumma, who often saved the Rossoneri with great saves. A rather clear example is the last game played by the Rossoneri on the Bologna pitch: the young AC Milan goalkeeper was in fact the protagonist of three super interventions that allowed Milan to leave Dall'Ara with three points in the pocket.
This morning, Corriere della Sera reported it and explained that now the time has come to get him to sign the renewal given that his contract will expire on June 30th. Gigio must be given a new contract so he is protected as well as the club, because Milan cannot afford to lose such a talent if they want to return to the top in Italy and Europe. Talks with his agent Mino Raiola have been frozen in the last month as the directors Maldini and Massara have been busy in the winter transfer window that ends tonight. Now the time has come to accelerate and it must be done quickly.
At Casa Milan, there is always optimism about the success of the negotiations but there are still obstacles to overcome: first of all, a definitive agreement on the salary still needs to be found. In fact, agent Mino Raiola asks for €10 milllion euros for his client, while Milan does not go beyond €7 million plus bonuses. Raiola would also like to insert a release clause not exceeding 30 million in the goalkeeper's new contract, which is deemed too low by the Rossoneri management as they would like it to be at least €40 million. Finally, an agreement will also have to be found on the duration of the new contract. Milan want a 4-year contract extension, while the keeper's entourage would like it to be less than that.
