The study has thrown up some surprising results however, as AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is ranked only in 11th place with a valuation of €35.2million.
Not only that but he is ranked behind two other Serie A goalkeepers in Pau Lopez (€37.9million) and Alex Meret (€35.7million). In the top three places are Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, Liverpool’s Allison and Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizzabalaga.
It is possible that part of the reason for Gigio receiving such a low valuation is down to his contract situation. The Rossoneri No.99 is currently on a deal which runs until 2021, meaning the club are at a crossroads regarding his future.
They must either agree a renewal before the start of next season or sell him in the upcoming window, so as to completely eradicate the risk of losing him on a free transfer.
