After the long and tiring renewal saga with Donnarumma and his agent, that proved to be without any favourable results, AC Milan have moved on firmly by not continuing to be part of the conversation for the extension and decided to take on Lille's goalkeeper Maignan.
The club also thinks of the future by trying to protect themselves with a renewal to Franck Kessié.
In fact, Donnarumma's departure could be useful for Milan on an economic level, even if he is leaving on a free.
Tuttosport explains it in today's edition: not having a huge salary in the squad allows the management to be more flexible in finding agreements with the rest of the players who must have their contracts extended, such as the defensive midfielder from Ivory Coast.
During the last meeting between the player's entourage and the managers of the club, there was some distance: the request was 5 million euros.
However, now there is actually more room to negotiate: Milan can afford to negotiate a fair renewal that pleases everyone as Kessié's stay at Milanello is an absolute priority, concludes the source.
