Already learning from idol and Italian great Gianluigi Buffon, AC Milan's teenage sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma is trying to imitate Bayern Munich star Manuel Neuer.
At only 18 years of age, Donnarumma is already Milan's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper after making his debut at 16.
And Donnarumma – in China preparing for the upcoming Serie A season with Milan – revealed his inspirations, including Neuer, a World Cup, Champions League and Bundesliga winner.
"My idol was always Gigi Buffon, then you were in the team that I supported [as a child]," he told Christian Abbiati via Milan TV.
"Now in the national team, I always have Gigi, who's been helping me so much.
"But there's also Neuer, who's an example. I try to imitate him and learn from him."
