AC Milan have announced that Gianluigi Donnarumma has rejected their offer of a new contract.
The Italian goalkeeper’s current deal expires in 2018 and he is not willing to put pen to paper on fresh terms.
The news was confirmed by Milan’s chief executive, Marco Fassone, at a press conference arranged after talks on Thursday.
Fassone said that Donnarumma’s agent, Mino Raiola, made it clear that the young goalkeeper’s decision to leave the club upon the expiry of his current terms was “final”.
“Mino Raiola has informed me of Donnarumma’s decision not to renew his contract with AC Milan,” Fassone said.
“It’s a final decision taken by the player.
“I remember that 10 days ago we made an important offer to the player – even more important that what the newspapers have written.
“The player made his technical, economical and personal considerations and has decided to reject it.
“He will end his relationship with AC Milan on June 30, 2018.”
Donnarumma became the second-youngest goalkeeper to play in Serie A, when he made his Milan debut as a 16-year-old in 2015.
