Milan announced in a press gathering just after the meeting with the agent Mino Raiola ended that the goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma would not extend his contract. The sporting director of the club, Marco Fassone told reporters that "I would have preferred to release a statement after the meeting with Raiola, who communicated to me that Donnarumma will extend his contract. It was a definite decision made by the player: remember that Mirabelli made an important offer to him, even more important than what the papers reported. The player evaluated the offer and made his decision not only on an economical level, but also a personal and technical level and preferred not to accept it. Mirabelli and I strongly believed that he was the goalkeeper to build the team around, but now we have to reevaluate everything on a technical level."
Fassone added that it was "a disheartening decision, but Milan will move ahead."
