How Ronaldo move may affect where Donnarumma goes
The Italian prodigy broke hearts of Milan fans everywhere in midweek, when he announced that he wouldn’t sign a new deal with the Rossoneri, allowing him to leave for free next January.
Last night, it was widely reported that Jose Mourinho and Manchester United were preparing a huge swoop for Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata, reportedly worth €210 million.
On top of that, the Reds would also swap David De Gea, leaving Real Madrid without the need to buy a goalkeeper.
Seeing as one of the main pretenders for Donnarumma was Real, this would incentivise the Red Devils to chase the Italian goalkeeper.
It’s a tough situation, one not made easier by Milan’s current stance. Owner Li Yonghong wants Donnarumma punished and benched for a year, but this would force Milan to give the 18-year-old for free.
Were they to sell him before August, on the other hand, they’d pocket quite a bit for his services.
