Milan are looking for a substitute for Gigio Donnarumma, who yesterday chose not to renew his contract with the Rossoneri. Mattia Perin, 24 year old Genoa goalkeeper represents their ideal replacement.

THE FAVORITE OF MONTELLA - Mattia Perin is Vincenzo Montella's favorite to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is set to leave the Rossoneri. The contacts between the parties are already well-established, although the definitive agreement with Genoa has not yet been found. The main substitute for the Rossoblù goalkeeper remains to be Neto of Juventus, who already has a great deal with Milan, but at the moment remains a second choice to Perin.

CONTACTS IN COURSE - Physical doubts, due to a serious injury to his knee that made him miss the entire second half of the season, leaves room for the conviction of Rossoneri leadership. According to Sky, there have already been contacts with Alessandro Lucci, agent of the Genoa goalkeeper.

THE MOTIVES - Perin would be the ideal substitute for Donnarumma for many reasons: he is young, as he will turn 25 years old in November and for a goalkeeper whose career lasts at least until 35, he is Italian (he will probably vie with Donnarumma for the Number 1 shirt of the Italian national team after Buffon's retirement), he knows Serie A as he has already played in five years (first in Pescara and then in Genoa) and has a strong personality and a sense of humor, just like Gigio. Compared to Walter Zenga for features and movements, he can quietly play the throne of Buffon heir. Moreover, his agent, Alessandro Lucci, is the same as Vincenzo Montella, a little detail when it comes to negotiations. He costs relatively little (10-15 million) and the yield is assured. Not to mention Genoa needs the fund so, reluctantly they would give him up.

THE GREAT JUMP - The Genoa goalkeeper is ready for the big jump and still has a lot of room for improvement. With a contract expiring in 2019, Rossoblù must monetize right away. He could also work alongside Plizzari, who is promising but still too young and inexperienced to endure the degrees of a full starting role in Milan. The future of the Rossoneri goalkeeper is ... Perin?
