Offers by Rossoneri rejected three times; Juventus steps in, ready to sell Szczesny and to fulfill the demands of Mina Raiola

The renewal of Gianluigi Donnarumma's contract in Milan has reached a complete stop, considering that all Rossoneri's offers so far have been rejected by the well-known manager of the young keeper, Mina Raiola. Therefore, the two sides cut their communications for a few weeks, with the Milan club hoping that the goalkeeper and his representative could change their minds.

However, according to Gianluca di Marzio, but also the Turin Corriere della Sera, Juventus will jump in, ready to use the failed negotiations and sign goalkeeper as a free agent at the end of the season.

Donnarumma's current four-year contract at San Siro, on the basis of which he earns over 7 million USD (776 million KSH) a year, expires on June 30th this year, and Raiola demands from the Milan administration that it be doubled. In the meantime, the Rossoneri tried three times to lower those demands... Unsuccessfully.

First, they offered 7.2 million USD and bonuses for qualifying in the Champions League, which was rejected. Then they raised the fixed income to 8.5 million USD and got the same answer.

Finally, the last offer was - a two-year contract, a salary of 8.5 million USD, then a bonus and a release clause between 36 and 42 million USD, in case the team does not secure a place in the Champions League. The answer Milan received was - 15 million USD a year and a much lower release clause.

Milan will wait for the end of the season in the hope that a positive response will arrive from Donnarumma's side, but at the same time, the Rossoneri scouting sector is actively working on finding a solution, so practically everything has already been agreed with Lille goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

In order to be active in the complete story, Juventus must first sell Wojciech Szczesny. However, it is believed in Turin that this will not be a problem, considering that the Polish goalkeeper has been at an extremely high level for years and that many clubs from the Premier League would be interested in him. It is also believed that Raiola's claims could be met by Juve without major problems.
