Donnarumma stays on with AC Milan

Rome: AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, regarded as the greatest prospect in his position in world football, has agreed an extension to his contract keeping him at the San Siro until 2021, the club announced on Tuesday.

“We continue together! AC Milan and Gianluigi Donnarumma have reached an agreement to extend the goalkeeper’s contract through to 2021,” read a statement on the club’s website.

Donnarumma’s previous deal had been due to expire in 2018 and he had announced last month that he would not sign an extension, to the immense disappointment of the club’s board.
