TEENAGE GOALKEEPING SENSATION Gianluigi Donnarumma is claiming he suffered “moral abuse” at the time of renewing his AC Milan contract last summer and wants to cancel the deal, according to Italian press reports on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old’s agent Mino Raiola has reportedly asked Milan bosses to cancel the contract on the grounds of “psychological pressure” suffered by Donnarumma to renew last July, Corriere della Sera reported.
Raiola and the player’s lawyers were reportedly not present in the room at the time of the signature.
And the newspaper claims that the teenager — regarded as one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe and a successor to Gianluigi Buffon on the Italian national team — has sent a letter to Milan bosses outlining his demands.
If the agreement is cancelled, Donnarumma would return to his former contract which expires on 30 June, 2018 and would be free to join another club.
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly in talks with Raiola, regarding a transfer to France for the Italian starlet, should Milan fail to clinch Champions League football next season.
Donnarumma brought the long-running saga over his future to an end last July by committing to the San Siro club until 2021 in a deal worth a reported €5 million plus bonuses a year.
Former European giants Milan are struggling down in seventh in Serie A — with 21 goals conceded in 16 games — despite Chinese owner Li Yonghong’s €230 million summer spending spree.

Lol all the muppets saying c’mon ukraine and yet they support liverpool united ect… Come on England!!
You sure your not English….
It’d be nice to see the home team do well but considering I follow the Premier League Id like to see England win. (I’m well aware that apparently Irish ppl aren’t meant to want England win; I’d like to think we can be mature enough to get past all that though)
Would like to see Gerrard & Rooney play to their potential and see some good goals. The three goals England got last Friday were cracking.
I should add that my maturity doesn’t extend to France; I’d like them to get hammered!!
Agree about England,hope they do well wife is English.Would like to see France win overall,stand to make €150 in a work pool if they do.Allez les bleu!
Me too
What a farce!! The entire FIFA and UEFA have a lot to answer for. What’s the point of a 4th and 5th official? Rubbish! Bring in video replays NOW!!!!
Saddo.
Maybe he is rooting for the underdog? I know I am.
Come on Ukraine!!!
irish prattriot is secretly england’s secret weapon
And what English team do u support, get over it, it was a hundred years ago
Come on England and Ashley Young. First goal scorer please. ; )
What were the odds?
Went with paddy power 10/1. Money back if lost if rooney scores anytime in the game.
Jesus Ger Canning should stick to the GAA
I am backing England for the rest of the tournament but that was over the line. To make matters worse there was a lines man looking at it only yards away!
Ten quid on a 3-0 victory, which I won’t be seeing again, but as long as we win.
C’Mon England!
Maybe with rooneys magic hair
I really can’t staaaaaand John Terry!
Come on France!!!!
Come on England!
England v Italy should be interesting, hmmmm hope Spain put plenty past France !!!!!!
That’s some comb-over Shrek had on his head !
the two teams i hate most france nd england cos im irish!!!!!!!!!! but up for france cos of a bet
cause i’m Irish I tells ya and I do what me fawda tells me to do
Terrible game. Hopefully the second half will be as good as the second half of the England Sweden game.
At least that wily old rascal Ger Canning managed to stay on in UKraine , where would we be with out his soothing tones and melodic voice
Does anyone know if the Italian goal last night was the first in history to be awarded after consultation with a fifth official? After all our campaigning for an extra official behind the goal since Henry’s handball, what a bitter irony. Not that it mattered much, but insult to injury and all that.
Rooney looks like shreck with a dead squirrel on his head
You have to laugh. The irony of Rooney spending all those thousands on expensive hair plug transplants, only to end up looking like some desperate sixty year old with a glued on mail order toupee costing fifty quid.
Did theo Walcott touch the ball at all
Better for France politically
france r wayyyy to cocky losing to sweden n its noh part of a game plan
was that in Engliash??? couldn’t understand a word of it
Job done
@ mark, nice one haha but for Terry that was a ‘Bridge’ too far !
The last tin
the last time john terry reacted that quickly was when he heard Wayne bridges car door slam
