MILAN (AP) AC Milan’s teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has agreed to extend his contract with the Serie A club until 2021.
The talented 18-year-old turned down a new deal last month and would have been a free agent at the end of next season.
But on Tuesday, Milan announced it had reached an agreement with Donnarumma, saying he would sign a new four-year contract the following morning.
Key to the deal is the signing of Donnarumma’s older brother Antonio, also a goalkeeper.
The new contract will reportedly see the younger Donnarumma earn six million euros a season ($7 million) and contains a release clause worth approximately 70 million euros.
