Gianluigi Donnarumma and AC Milan are going our separate ways, reveals Paolo Maldini

While AC Milan have had a rather impressive seas💞on, things could have been even better for the Rossoneri with them sitting atop the Serie A table at one point. But with the Rossoneri making the cut for the Champions League for the first time in years, it does mean the 2020/21 season is a successful season for the club. Yet, with no agreement on Gianluigi Donnarumma’s contract, the 22-year-old’s future has been up in the air but that has changed as well.

Paolo Maldini has confirmed that the Italian goalkeeper will be leaving the club once his 🌠contract expires on June 30 with him not set to add to his 251 appearances. Maldini further added that he wishes the 22-year-old nothing but the best for the future and admitted that it’s difficult to start and finish a career in the same place now. The Rossoneri have already prepared a replacement with Mike Maignan pictured at their headquarters.

"I think we must thank all the players who made thi🦩s an incredible season. Gigio was a leader and often our captain. People struggle to understand what it means to be a professional, and that you have to be ready to change club. I know it is difficult to accept, but it is increasingly difficult to find careers that start and 🌱end in the same place," Maldini told Milan TV.

"We must respect those who h♌ave given a lot to Milan, he has never lacked respect for us. We are going our separate ways, but I can only wish him the best."
