Agent: ‘Only a few can afford’ Donnarumma | OneFootball

Gianluigi Donnarumma’s agent, Enzo Raiola, says ‘only a few’ can afford the Italy captain, and that rumours of a move to Napoli are ‘pure fantasy.’

Donnarumma returned to Coverciano on Monday to begin preparation for the World Cup qualifiers.

“We hope Italy won’t miss the next edition,” his agent Enzo Raiola told Radio CRC via Calciomercato.com.

“We don’t deserve to be left out of the World Cup three times in a row. Hopefully, this will be the right one.”

Donnarumma has just won the Champions League with PSG, lifting the cup with the big ears for the first time in his career.

“Fans in Paris always loved Gigio, but the criticism comes more from Italy,” said Raiola.

“In the last Champions League matches, he was truly decisive.”

What did the goalkeeper tell his agent on Saturday after beating Inter 5-0 in the Champions League Final?

“‘We did it, ‘ and he hugged me,” Raiola revealed.

“I believed in him and told him so from the very beginning. It was his dream to reach the top of Europe, and he made it. Few words, but they say everything.”

There has been speculation that Donnarumma could be set for a move to Napoli also because he’s from Castellammare, a town in the Metropolitan City of Naples.

“His mother is a huge Napoli fan, and she gets anxious watching their games. Gigio is connected to that,” Donnarumma’s agent admitted.

“He grew up as a Milan supporter, watching his older brothers in a Rossoneri shirt, but he never denied his roots. In fact, his first stop during the holidays is always Castellammare.”

However, he has never been in talks with the new Serie A winners.

“It’s pure fantasy. I’ve an excellent relationship with Director Giovanni Manna, but we’ve never discussed Gigio.

Lastly, Raiola confirmed his client has already received several offers.

“It’s an obvious question; many would like him, but only a few can afford him. He feels good in Paris, we’re at the European champion club, so we have no complaints.

“We are working on a renewal [with PSG].”

Donnarumma kept 12 clean sheets in 40 PSG appearances this season, conceding 39 goals.
