Gattuso: Milan decide Donnarumma future, not me
Gennaro Gattuso was coy when asked about Gianluigi Donnarumma following AC Milan's loss to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final.
AC Milan head coach Gennaro Gattuso said it is up to the club to decide on the future of star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Donnarumma signed a new contract through to 2021 last year but the 19-year-old's future is far from certain amid Milan's pursuit of soon-to-be free agent and Napoli keeper Pepe Reina.
Mino Raiola's desire to see his client Donnarumma leave Milan has heightened tensions between the outspoken agent and the club.
And Gattuso was coy when asked about Donnarumma – who has been linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid – following Wednesday's 4-0 loss to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final.
"At this moment Donnarumma is the Milan goalkeeper, the rest is down to the club," Gattuso told Rai Sport.
"I am the coach, all I do is train the players who are put at my disposal. As far as I am concerned, Donnarumma is one of the most important goalkeepers in the world.
"It's up to the club to decide what to do next."
