Paolo Maldini’s Message to Gianluigi Donnarumma
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Gianluigi Donnarumma finally left the AC Milan team. The young Italian goalkeeper left AC Milan on a free transfer.
Milan’s management have given up on persuading Donnarumma to stay. Paolo Maldini as technical director announced the goalkeeper’s departure.
“I think we have to thank all the players who have made this incredible season. Gigio (Donnarumma) has been a leader and many times captain,” Maldini said in an interview on Twitch.
“People have a hard time understanding what it means to be a professional who has to be ready to change uniforms. It’s getting harder and harder to find players who start and finish their careers in the same team.”
“Our paths with Donnarumma must be parted. I can only wish him the best,” he added.
The salary value factor was the main reason for the impasse in negotiations for Donnarumma’s contract extension. Milan was unable to meet the demand for academy dropout players of 10 million euros per year.
Donnarumma code
Not long after Maldini’s confirmation, Donnarumma gave Juventus a code. This was done through social media.
Donnarumma seems to like the upload of transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio regarding the news of Massimiliano Allegri’s return to Juventus. He seemed to want to work with the former Milan coach in Turin.
Juventus itself has indeed become one of the clubs interested in proposing Donnarumma. The Bianconeri need a new tough goalkeeper after releasing Gianluigi Buffon.
But Donnarumma’s move to Juventus certainly angered Milan supporters. It is not impossible that he will receive excessive terror when the two teams meet on the field.
