Montella backs AC Milan to keep Donnarumma

AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella is confident the club will retain the services of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Donnarumma’s agent Mino Raiola sparked alarm when he hinted his 17-year-old client could look to leave Italy, telling Rai: “Gianluigi is a rare jewel, and rare jewels should be displayed in the most beautiful window. Otherwise, what kind of jewel is he?”

But Montella, speaking ahead of Tuesday’s Serie A clash with Lazio, told reporters at his news conference: “He [Donnarumma] doesn’t have to worry; the club will surely renew his contract.

“Raiola is originally from the south [of Italy], like me and like Donnarumma, so I’m sure he will sign the contract no matter what he [Raiola] says.

Milan enjoyed an encouraging 1-0 victory at Sampdoria on Friday and Montella will now be looking for his players to show they have the quality to mount a push for a European spot with the Lazio visit to San Siro followed by a trip to Fiorentina at the weekend.

“Six points in four matches is more or less what we were expecting. We are though disappointed we lost against Udinese,” Montella added.
