The victory against Benevento brought some peace of mind. However, renewals continue to be a problem. Donnarumma and Calhanoglu's contracts are less than two months away from expiring.
DONNARUMMA, THE STORY IS REPEATED - As happened five years ago, Milan and Donnarumma will try to find an agreement only in the last few days, before the expiration of the contract. The situation is no longer under control: yesterday a group of fans had a heated meeting with the goalkeeper, outside Milanello. Donnarumma did not assure that he will still stay at Milan and the fans asked him not to play against Juventus. His next team could be Juventus itself. His agent, Mino Raiola, has already had two meetings with the Bianconeri club. Juventus are not sure if they can offer Donnarumma a very rich contract, but they are thinking about it. Fabio Paratici is reportedly ready with a five-year contract at 10 million euros per year plus add-ons. Without Champions League qualification the deal obviously could not happen. The sale of Szczęsny is another condition that could help the move. The hope of the Milan fans is the Champions League. The first condition for Donnarumma's renewal is Champions League qualification. The Rossoneri goalkeeper has always said this to his agent.
MILAN HAS CALHANOGLU'S PROMISE BUT WITH THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - Calhanoglu's renewal is also uncertain. However, the Turk is expected to stay at Milan. Hakan gave his word to the club when he met Maldini and Massara at Casa Milan about a month ago. The distance of 1 million euro between offer and demand can be bridged in the coming days. He wants to play in the Champions League. Hakan left Bayer Leverkusen five years ago, that is the last time when he played the Champions League, to join an important project such as that of Yonghong Li and Fassone. However, the Turk has never yet had the chance to play against the big clubs. He will still be an AC Milan player if the club achieves its goal at the end of the season.
