Barcelona leading race to sign Milan goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma
Barcelona are the favourites to sign Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma ahead of Paris Saint-Germain according to Sky Sport Italia as carried by Football Italia.
Juventus, previously linked with Donnarumma, seem to be more likely to retain Wojciech Szczesny now that Massimiliano Allegri is back in charge following the dismissal of Andrea Pirlo.
Donnarumma is a soon-to-be free agent after failing to agree a new deal with Milan, who’ve already moved to bring in Mike Maignan to replace him. Mino Raiola, his agent, is trying to find a club willing to pay him the €10m per season he wants.
