Milan Pressing Gianluigi Donnarumma for Answer on New Contract


Milan want an answer by Gianluigi Donnarumma on the extension in short order to begin planning the future and move onto other negotiations. The management have made an exception to their policy on the wages, offering around €8M, €2M more than what he is currently making. However, his agent Mino Raiola has not replied and asked for very sizeable commission, Calciomercato.com reports.

Despite the request, it is unlikely that the team will increase their proposal. They are counting on the rumored desire of the player to stay, especially if they qualified Champions League. Moreover, the market for goalkeeper is stalling as the top clubs are happy with their current starters.

Among the possible destinations, PSG and Real Madrid are satisfied with Keylor Navas and Thibaut Courtois, while Chelsea solved the issue by acquiring Edouard Mendy from Rennes in January. It is not certain that a high-profile carousel will indeed start in such role, Gianluca Di Marzio informed.

Juventus are content with Wojciech Szczesny, but they could be ready to pounce as they have long admired Donnarumma. Transfer market expert Tancredi Palmeri reported the Bianconeri would be willing give him the salary he is looking for and that his agent Mino Raiola is using that as leverage with Milan.

The talks are intertwined with the extension of another of his client, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose contract is also up in the summer. The representative has ruled out a pay cut despite the fact that the striker has missed a lot of time with injuries.
