Gianluigi Donnarumma: Agent reveals Milan death threats and dismisses Real Madrid transfer
REAL MADRID do not have an agreement to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose family has received death threats since his decision to reject a new AC Milan contract.
“In fact, you know what, to go to Madrid I do not need Milan’s permission.
“(But) the truth is that many clubs have watched him, since he was as young as 16.
“He preferred to stay at his Milan.”
Donnarumma has rejected a reported £77,000-a-week deal at Milan that would have kept him to the San Siro.

Milan’s fans have voiced their anger at the decision and especially Raiola’s part in the negotiations.
They see the agent as trying to cash in on Donnarumma’s sudden success - the 18-year-old is already Milan’s No 1 goalkeeper and is seen as the likely heir to Gianluigi Buffon in the Italy national side.
"I can take all the blame, but leave Gigio in peace,” Raiola said when addressing the fans’ fury.
“They’ve even sent death threats to his family, it's shocking.”
