Part of AC Milan’s hard core has demanded that Gianluigi Donnarumma not be on target against Juventus next Sunday. Italian media write that a group of supporters had a conversation with the goalkeeper and Italian international a few hours before the start of the home game against Benevento (2-0) on Saturday.
The cause of the friction between the supporters of AC Milan and Donnarumma is the contract situation of the goalkeeper, who has an expiring contract. The Northern Italian club made a final contract proposal to the keeper, who, however, has still not answered. In less than two months, Donnarumma is on a transfer-free basis and is rumored to be negotiating or having negotiated with Juventus.
AC Milan initially declined a conversation between Donnarumma and the fans, but the newspapers in Italy assure that the goalkeeper nevertheless went out to speak to the fans in question. The supporters said the goalkeeper would not have to defend AC Milan’s goal against Juventus if he did not sign a new contract next week. i Rossoneri signs. It goes without saying that Donnarumma has taken the message for notice.
The top match between Juventus and AC Milan is already a loaded match anyway. With four full match days to go, in addition to a few matches on Sunday, no fewer than five clubs will compete for the three remaining Champions League tickets, as leader Internazionale is already assured of participation. The difference between number two AC Milan and number five Juventus is only three points and the defending champion has also played one game less. The numbers five and six of the Serie A have to settle for the Europa League.
For Donnarumma, participating in the Champions League will be an important factor in his decision about his future. The 22-year-old goalkeeper has never played in the most important European club competition. He does have 22 appearances in the Europa League to his name. Donnarumma made his debut as Rossonero when he was 16 years and 242 days. Since then, the counter has stood at 247 matches in all competitions.
