Chelsea ready to splurge €70m on Milan goalkeeping sensation
The Indipendent (via CM) claim that the Rossoneri is said to be worth 70 million to the Blues, up from the €40m that Juventus were ready to offer not so long ago.
Aged only 16, Donnarumma made this Serie A debut last season, replacing former Real Madrid man Diego Lopez and playing so well that a number of clubs (including Barcelona and Real themselves) are lining up to take him.
Juventus themselves were ready to offer the goalkeeping sensation a deal worth €40m over four years, making him the highest-paid player in Serie A.
The goalkeeping sensation is set to only turn 18 in February, which is when he can he sign a new deal.
Agent Mino Raiola has made some allusive references to the situation:
“I don’t see how he can be criticised, if someone wants him to leave, all they’ve got to do is say so,” Raiola told Premium Sport a while ago.
The Italo-Dutch agent seemed to be questioning Milan’s future plans, with their buyout by Sino-Europe Sports repeatedly postponed.
“I’m here to take care of Donnarumma’s interests. I want to know what Milan’s future plans are, I think it’s only fair.
