With the Rossoneri having signed several exciting youngsters and persuaded Gigi Donnarumma to stay, landing the BVB striker would send out a message
Vincenzo Montella was understandably enthused by the news that Gianluigi Donnarumma had signed a contract extension on Tuesday.
"It's been a soap opera but the final outcome is the most important thing," the AC Milan coach told reporters after his side's pre-season win over Lugano. "Gigio is like a son." And a prodigal one at that.
Donnarumma had sparked fury among Milan fans by initially refusing to extend his previous deal with the club but Milan, being the good father, always insisted that he would be forgiven, welcomed back with open arms if he decided to change his mind.
