AC Milan CEO Marco Fassone said
Monday there is a slender hope that star 18-year-old keeper
Gianluigi 'Gigio' Donnarumma could stay at the club.
Donnarumma recently refused to extend his contract with
Milan, amid speculation about a possible move to Real Madrid,
He was jeered by some when he touched the ball in Italy's 2-0
win over Denmark in the European under-21 championships Sunday
and fans showed a banner saying 'Dollarumma' and threw fake
dollars onto the pitch.
The teen's agent, Mino Raiola, said Sunday that the problem
was not money but a "hostile environment" that developed during
talks.
Fassone said that it was not impossible for the positions to
change.
"Raiola has left some small glimmers of hope, we would be
happy if Donnarumma had a rethink," Fassone said.
"There is not much chance, but never say never until the end.
"We don't have to beg anyone to bring us 20 million euros.
"Donnarumma is worth much more. Gigio is staying here and
he'll leave next year for nothing.
"If anyone wants him, they'll have to make an offer that
matches his value".
