AC Milan are remaining tight lipped over the renewal of highly rated goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian international turns 18 on February 25 and there is still much mystery surrounding the future of the youngster.
 

Il Giornale reveals that new Rossoneri CEO Marco Fassone has agreed with the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, not to allow the youngster to release any interviews on the occasion of his 18th birthday this weekend so as not to influence any potential moves on the transfer market. Chelsea and Manchester United as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona, have all been linked with a move for the player after Raiola stated that his client’s future may not be at the San Siro and that he needed to discuss the future plans of the club with the new owners Sino-Europe Sports.
