True. Donnarumma was always bit of a rat. I wouldn't trust him or the agent. Both rats imo.
Could be a big W for Milan. 21 clean sheets this season.

You're not even a real journalism
Lol of he goes to Juve for the sake of a couple million, I know there is no loyalty in football, but what a dick.

Half of our squad are earning way more than they should and no one is willing to take pay cuts.
All these top players are the same.

Didn't he cause a lot of unrest with fans because of his demands etc. I remember a lot of drama happens with him.
Not your normal case. Obviously believes very highly of himself and shows no loyalty to anybody.

But imo:
1. when a Milan player has high wage demands = a club can't afford it, they refuse it and then the fans are mad at a player for asking too much
2. while at Barca = Messi gets how much he wants, Suarez, Busi, Roberto, Cou, Dembele, Frenkie
If you get me?
I don't think that there is any difference between Donnaruma and Suarez/Busi/Frenkie.
The only difference is that we are paying the highest wages in the world so all players are staying, they are happy and they are milking the club = so you can't get the upproar from fans since every player will get more or less whataver he asks for.
In Wijnaldum's topic, someone said that we are still a magnet for free agents due to being a huge brand.
Yet, on the other hand, I would like to hear whether someone else offered higher wages to Wijni, Aguero, Depay.
For example:
If we offer let's say 8M per year (not a true number, just an example) to Depay.
And if he was earning 5 at France.
And if other clubs who were after him offered 5, 6, 7.
= then we haven't lured him due to being a top brand but due to paying the highest wages
We could talk about luring him here due to our brand ONLY if for example:
= we would offer 8M wages, and he rejected 12M from Arsenal/Tottenham/Inter.
But that is not the case, isn't it?
There is a rare player here and there who comes to a team for lower wages because he really loves that club.
But 90% of players will go where he is paid the most, unless in extreme case when that club is from Quatar/China and similar.
In a case of interest from Bayern/Barca/Real/Chelsea/Liverpool = a player will rarely pick one club due to "love" but mostly due to who will offer the longest contract and the highest wages.
Sharp move.
I seen more Lille than expected this season for obvious reasons and what stands out Is their defensive block rather than individual talent.
Don't get me wrong, Maignon made some key saves in the last game for example, but I didn't see outstanding performances because of their defensive blocks.
Not saying he is not good, just that I have no idea of his actual level. So be interesting to see at Milan in replacing a very good goalkeeper.

Barca trying to sneak in for Donnarumma to then use MATS as part of MDL or Haaland deal.
Hes off to Juve though surely.

The difference is that Suarez is one of the best strikers of our generation, our 3rd all time scorer, Busi is one of our best midfielders ever, there is a reason no coach benched him and is always present is Spain first 11. Frenkie did not deserve that big contract, that’s on Bartomeu.

You like to use a lot of words but that takes the biscuit.
Patronising folk explaining how 5,6 and 7 are less than 8.
Worst part is you think this is groundbreaking stuff that needs explained.
