Adriano Galliani: 'Gianluigi Donnarumma not for sale'

AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani insists that teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has been linked with Real Madrid and Juventus, is not for sale.

AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has insisted that teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is not for sale.

The highly-rated stopper became the youngest goalkeeper ever to debut in Serie A at the age of 16, and has since become Milan's number one despite only turning 17 earlier this year.

The teenager, who stands at 6'5", also became Italy's youngest-ever goalkeeper when he made his international debut in September's friendly with France.

Real Madrid and Juventus have been linked with moves for the teenager, but Galliani remained defiant when questioned on whether the stopper would be allowed to leave San Siro.

"You must be joking. Donnarumma is a Milan player. I hope and I'm convinced he will be a Milan player for many years to come. I think he will be the heir to [Gianluigi] Buffon in the national team, though Buffon is still a great goalkeeper," Galliani told Mediaset.

The goalkeeper joined Milan's youth system at the age of 14.
