He's not signing a new contract with Milan.
Has been starting for them since he was 16 ...
He's probably the highest rated goalkeeper at this age since Courtois/De Gea.
I'd offer them Ming and 30 million and try and reel him in ...

Raiola is certainly infamous for getting his players to move around club to club for big transfer fees.
However, in this case I can definitely see where the agent & player are coming from.
Milan have recently been sold to Chinese investors and the agent is not convinced that they will lead the club in the right direction back to being among the elite in Europe. If you look at Inter who were also bought by Chinese investors, the investors have ran the club like amateurs - chopping and changing managers, making signings that don't really benefit the team etc.
Similiar things appear to be on the cards with Milan - unable to attract big name players despite the investment, with Morata their main target looking set to go with United for now.
Donnarumma is a life long Milan fan too, despite being born in Naples, so his heart is definitely with Milan. But a player of his apparent calibre definitely deserves to be playing football at the highest level competing for the silverware every season, which Milan don't look like doing yet.
When you consider that Juventus are circling him to be the long term replacement for Buffon - as well as clubs like PSG & Real Madrid - the advantage is most definitely with the agent/player.
This has not much to do about the contract being offered but more to do with the ambition of the player vs. reality of where Milan are at.
