And what I nead by «love»: Pogba was adored before by Juventini when he said things like «I will stay with those who believed in me other than a certain english club», then Raiola moved him in very shady ways to ManU. He became another mercenary like many of Raiolas clients and Juventinis in 10 years won't talk about him like they talk about Nedved or Del Piero.
Of course he stated his loyalty to Juventus when asked about it, because that’s how professional players act in order to spare himself and the club from unnecessary turmoil - even if he actually has a desire to leave.
The status that Nedved and Del Piero have amongst Juventini is very rare and it would be unfair to expect every high profiled player to achieve this status.
Same thing here. Donna was adored, loved, people went crazy for him and his shirts and newspapers hyped him as our next bandiera and future captain à la Maldini.
And then Raiola came along. And the way people talked, hyped and looked at him changed within hours. Literally.
So in your opinion the only right thing to do was accept F&M’s first contract offer?
Keep in mind that this change of view on Donnarumma happened after
Fassone publicly said they wouldn’t sign a contract, because Milan couldn’t meet the demands of Raiola and Donna. At the end it all worked out and a compromise was made
Donnarumma has to this day never expressed any desire to leave, actually just the opposite.
For me the bigger sign of loyality was to sign a renewal without release-clause and against the will of Raiola.
A release clause can only be activated if the player wants to be released.
A young player like Donnarumma obviously wants to play against the best in Europe (Champions League) Donna can use his release clause as an insurance that he won’t be held captive by the club, should Milan’s ‘new project’ fail to produce CL football year after year.
