BREAKING NEWS


Mino Raiola has reportedly informed Milan he has received
proposals worth €10m-a-year for Gianluigi Donnarumma, but
the club are not willing to increase their offer.

The 22-year-old will see his €6m-a-year contract expire at the
end of the season and Milan have offered him a new €8m-a-
year deal.

La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper confirms that the
Rossoneri will not increase their offer even if Raiola has
warned the club he has received proposals worth €10m-a-
year.

According to a previous report of Il Corriere dello Sport ,
that’s the salary that Juventus have put on the table to sign
the Italy international as a free agent in the summer.

Donnarumma wants to play Champions League football next
season and Milan hope to qualify to fulfil the player’s desire.

Even with a top-four finish, Milan won’t raise their offer for the
goalkeeper.

Donnarumma told Milan ultras on Sunday he hadn’t reached
an agreement with the Old Lady and insisted he wants to stay
at Milan.

The 22-year-old met a group of ultras on Saturday morning,
hours before the home clash against Benevento.

According to several reports, they urged him to sign a
contract extension to avoid sitting out the Juventus clash next
Sunday.

Milan’s technical director Paolo Maldini has reacted, saying
any decision related to the pitch and the contract renewals are
down to Stefano Pioli’s staff and the club.
 
[Pietro Balzano Prota] Marino (Sporting Director of Udinese) to Sky: “At the end of the first half there was an assault by the members and managers of the Juventus towards referee Chiffi, almost as if to influence him."
 
Shevchenko: “Milan is not a team, it’s a family. When you arrive at Milanello they treat you as a family member. Coaching Milan? It’s a dream, let’s see. It would be the maximum for me.” https://t.co/yk5g0u5fcR
 
AC Milan are the only team so far to request information regarding Torino striker Andrea Belotti, according to one journalist.

Belotti turned 27 on 23 December and will find himself at a crossroads in the summer as it could be one of the last opportunities to make to leap to a big club and compete for trophies.

His contract is set to expire in June 2022, so he will be left with a decision to either commit to a new contract or concede that Torino will be forced to sell him in the upcoming mercato, to ensure he does not leave for free.


Speaking on the Calciomercato Show for CM.it, the ‘Radio Radio’ journalist Enrico Camelio spoke about the future of Belotti and dropped some interesting information regarding Milan’s reported interest.

“I only know that Belotti will not sign for Torino, he will not renew, and only Milan have asked for information. Roma did not ask for anything. A very close friend of Belotti’s told me,” Camelio said.

Belotti has 104 goals and 26 assists in 223 appearances for Granata having been their absolute leader over the past few years, but it seems he may have finally outgrown them.

He also spoke on the Donnarumma situation, one which is becoming more and more tense with the passing of days, especially after Saturday’s confrontation between the goalkeeper and fans at Milanello.

“For me Donnarumma remains at the end, Milan will satisfy Raiola,” he added.

PM: Maldini’s instructions for the summer clear – five free agents Milan could realistically target

There are a number of players who could be valuable additions on free transfers if Milan want low-cost reinforcements, a report claims.

The next four games that will say a lot about the future of Milan and their ambitions on the market, as qualification for the Champions League would bring much-needed extra revenue into the club’s accounts.

According to PianetaMilan, Paolo Maldini has been instructed to carry out a smart summer window capitalising on opportunities without over-spending, but this is also the case for all the clubs given the economic crisis due to the pandemic. With that said, Milan may have the opportunity to grab some real top players without paying a single euro of transfer fee.


In recent months the name of Sergio Ramos has often been linked and the Spaniard could really decide to leave Real Madrid after over a decade there. His admiration for Maldini is well known, and some ‘winks’ from Milan have arrived, but it remains a really complicated operation given his salary. The same also applies to Sergio Aguero and Edinson Cavani.

However, two players more within reach are Memphis Depay and Florian Thauvin of Lyon and Marseille respectively. The Dutchman has often been linked with the Rossoneri in the past, while Maldini has even publicly declared interest in the latter.

Looking at some other names, full-back duo Elseid Hysaj and Emerson Royal will be out of contract as will PSG midfielder Julian Draxler, who could be really useful in case of Hakan Calhanoglu’s departure.

Donnarumma ‘could have become a carpenter’


Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma insists ‘fans are important’ and reveals he could have become a carpenter if he hadn’t played football.

The 22-year-old spoke about his career live on Twitch with Justees.

“My uncle was a goalkeeper, and I grew up with his myth. I’ve always wanted to become the best, and I hope I will make it one day,” Donnarumma said.

“I understood I could become a pro when I left for Milan. When I did it and saw my parents being sad I understood I would have become a Serie A goalkeeper.

“Plan B was to work as a carpenter, like my dad, but I’ve always had only a plan A,” he revealed.

“Christian Abbiati was very important for me when I joined Milan, he helped me a lot and made me feel at ease,” the goalkeeper added.

Donnarumma will see his contract expire at the end of the season and a group of Milan ultras urged him to sign a contract extension in a tense meeting last week.

“Fans can help during tough times and we must accept criticism when things are not going well. Unfortunately, they haven’t been in the stadiums lately, but we are waiting for them,” Donnarumma said.

Aside from his contract situation, which are his plans for the future?

“I’d like to win as many trophies as possible, especially the World Cup, it would be great,” Donnarumma said.

“Euro 2020 is the first international trophy I will play in my career, we can do well, I am looking forward to it and I think France is the side that can create most trouble for us.”

Against Juventus, compared to the match Vs Benevento, #Calabria to start in place of Dalot and Ante #Rebic should play from the start as an attacking winger in place of Leao.
In Torino the best Milan will take the field for the most important game of the season.
