The future of Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma continues to be a puzzle. The 18-year-old has taken the football world by storm this season with some outstanding displays but whether he remains at the Rossoneri beyond this summer is still open to debate. La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that his agent, Mino Raiola will sit down with club executives this week to discuss the future under their new Chinese owners and to try to reach an agreement on a new deal at the San Siro.
 

If talks once again fasil to produce any positive outcome, it’s likely that Raiola will start a flurry of transfer activity by making his client available when the window re-opens. The pink journal states that he will demand Donnarumma’s new salary at the club will be in line with that of a top European player or else he will look at other options from overseas.
