'The boy wants to stay' - Abbiati hopes Donnarumma can work out new Milan deal

The new Milan club manager is confident that San Siro is the best place for the young goalkeeper to play next season

Christian Abbiati is hopeful that Gianluigi Donnarumma will stay at AC Milan as talk builds that he has agreed a new contract.

Reports in Italy on Wednesday have suggested that the 18-year-old goalkeeper has accepted a new five-year contract worth €4.5 million a year, in addition to bonuses.

Abbiati believes the rising Italy star would be best served by staying at San Siro, despite links with Manchester United and Real Madrid, and is confident he does not want to leave.
