The Rossoneri have drawn up a shortlist of superstar transfer targets but they must first convince their teenage phenomenon to sign a new contract
Former AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati knew right away that Gianluigi Donnarumma was something special. "Few people have this kind of quality at 16," the retired 39-year-old enthused in October 2015. "The Lord looked down on him and said: 'You need to be a goalkeeper.'"
His gifts may be God-given but it was Sinisa Mihajlovic who handed him his professional debut. So, the Serb couldn’t help but smile when Donnarumma saved a last-minute penalty from Andrea Belotti to earn Milan a 3-2 victory over Mihajlovic’s new club, Torino, on the opening day of the current Serie A campaign.
