CorSport: Milan ready to promote Primavera star as position has opened up

Milan decided to part ways with Gigio Donnarumma, who won’t renew his contract, and replaced him immediately with Mike Maignan. The goalkeeping lineup for next season is thus taking shape, with just one piece missing. 

In addition to Gigio, his brother Antonio will also leave the club and that means the role of third-choice goalkeeper will be free. Instead of signing a new player, who would barely get any playing time, Milan have another plan in mind.

According to Corriere Dello Sport, as cited by MilanNews, the Rossoneri will promote Primavera star Andreas Jungdal to the first team. The Dane will act as the third-choice goalkeeper and this should give him some much-needed experience.

Meanwhile, Ciprian Tatarusanu has a contract with the club until 2023 and will remain the backup choice of Stefano Pioli. The expectation is that Maignan will play a majority of the games, just like Donnarumma has in the last few years.
