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.
