AC Milan could end up having to pay more to keep Gianluigi Donnarumma if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, a report claims.
According to La Repubblica, Milan are in talks over the renewals of players whose contracts expire at the end of the season, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic with whom negotiations are at a very advanced stage and he is set to stay until June 2022.
Meanwhile, Donnarumma is also oriented to stay at the club beyond June but it is a more complicated situation because the same agent – Mino Raiola – is asking for €10m net per season to renew, which is a big increase from the current €7m that makes him currently the second-highest paid player on the team.
Donnarumma’s future cannot be separated from qualification for the Champions League, a competition that is obviously priority for those who are considered among the strongest goalkeepers in the world in their position. If that target is not achieved, it is inevitable that the club will have to make a greater economic sacrifice to keep him.
Should a top four finish be confirmed that Milan could extend him at around €8million net plus easy bonuses to allow him to reach the all-important demand of €10m.
Let Donnarumma go and instead let us have players who really love the club.
At this point, i think Donarumma should leave. His renewal is not helping the management at all..
What I see here is a player allowing his agent to run the show. I think Raiola told Donnarumma that 10m is doable and the player gave his consent. If Raiola had said let’s maintain 7m, Donnarumma would still have said ok.
Sell him we have Pizzari and invest money for young talents…..
So, you want someone who hasn’t kept a clean sheet in Serie-B all season to replace Gigio?
