AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella has called on the club's fans to 'welcome' Gianluigi Donnarumma back at San Siro for the Europa League third qualifying round game against CSU Craiova, after the wonderkid's controversial contract u-turn earlier in the summer.
The 18-year-old was embroiled in a bitter transfer saga, after his agent Mino Raiola claimed his client would not sign a new contract with the Rossoneri.
Factions of the Milan support reacted furiously to what they considered a traitorous decision to leave from a player who had been brought through the club's youth system, and angrily criticised the teenager on social media and during an Italy Under-21 match - in which fans threw fake money and rubber snakes onto the pitch.
