Gianluigi Donnarumma agrees new five-year AC Milan deal worth £5m-a-season, including an £88m buy-out fee amid interest from Real Madrid
Gianluigi Donnarumma has agreed terms for a new five-year contract at AC Milan worth £5million-a-season.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper will have two buy-out clauses inserted into the deal which depend on Milan qualifying for the Champions League.
Should they fail to reach Europe's elite club competition, the clause is believed to stand at 50m euros (£44m) but if they do, it doubles to 100m euros (£88m).
Donnarumma's current contract runs until 2018 but agent Mino Raiola said in June that he would not extend his agreement with Milan, sparking a furious reaction from some of the club's ardent supporters.
The news alerted Champions League holders Real Madrid, with their president Florentino Perez claiming manager Zinedine Zidane was an admirer of the goalkeeper.
But Donnarumma has now agreed a contract extension at his boyhood club and could sign it imminently.
He made his Milan debut at 16 and has gone on to make 72 appearances for the Italian giants.
He has also earned four caps with the senior Italy national team.
He played for their under 21 side at the recent European Championship in Poland, where Italy made the semi-final.
