AC Milan have congratulated Gianluigi Donnarumma after he was named the Best Italian U21 Player at the 2019 Golden Boy awards.

Donnarumma’s former team-mate and fellow Primavera graduate Patrick Cutrone was the highest ranked Italian player in 2018, but now Milan’s prized young shot-stopper has scooped the award.

A lot of the current talk surrounding the 20-year-old may be regarding his future with the Rossoneri, but he continues to put in exceptional performances on the field.

Milan congratulated him on Twitter, stating: “We’re proud of our @gigiodonna1, who has been selected as the Best Under-21 Italian Player at the Golden Boy 2019 awards!”
