He's too good to waste his career here. If Silvio does not sell there is no way he should stay. In a couple of seasons he will get into any team in the world if he continues to progress at his current rate. He deserves better than this Milan and he will be sold if Silvio stays.

Gigi Donnarumma admits ‘I hoped for an Italy call-up’ and reveals ‘I dream of wearing the Milan captain’s armband.’
The goalkeeper has been one of the revelations of the season in Serie A, making his debut aged 16 under Sinisa Mihajlovic.
He was overlooked by Antonio Conte for the Azzurri’s Euro 2016 squad, an omission which he admits disappointed him.
“Of course I hoped for a call-up to the national team,” Donnarumma told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I clung onto that dream until the end, but I’m happy to have made my debut with the Under-21s and to know that Luigi Di Biagio relies on me.
“My personal objective is always to continue to improve, Milan’s goal next year must be to get back into Europe and then we’ll see.
“Long-term future? I hope to still be at Milan, with the captain’s armband. It would be the culmination of a dream I’ve had since I was a child.
“Buffon’s heir? I don’t know about that. But I admit that his compliments are the ones that have pleased me the most.
“Berlusconi has complimented me a lot this year and has also given me some advice, especially regarding earrings and tattoos. He doesn’t want me to have them and indeed I don’t.
“Milan’s sale? I can’t imagine a Milan without Berlusconi. And I like the idea of a young, Italian Milan.”
The young goalkeeper also commented on Napoli’s season, as he is from a town close to the port city.
“Napoli is a great club and one of the best teams in our league,” he said.
“They did really well this season, but the defeat in Turin let the Bianconeri past and they continued until the end with a winning streak that nobody could oppose.”

in the US you can't get a tattoo until you are 18...not sure about Italy
and piercings, I think you have to be older than 16 or have a parent/guardian present
anyway, I think that is weird ^^

You don't make someone captain just because he has nerves and says pleasant things. You also don't make someone that young a captain. Playing him at that age is one thing (many players got significant playing time when they were young, messi, cr7 etc). But making him captain is absurd.
You have to influential on the field, have wisdom and be assertive when it's required. He still can't command his box and he hasn't done anything bar starting and playing extremely well (not exactly qualifications for captaincy) to warrant being handed the arm band

I admit that I was very skeptical when he first started. It seemed almost like a suicidal desperation move. That said, I'm very glad that I was proven wrong.
Can improve in a few areas, but he has shown that he can pull his weight very well.

How do you remain so calm with all that has happened in the last year?
“It’s a family trait. We’re all very humble people, used to keeping our feet on the ground. It comes natural to me to take everything on without delving into a fantasy land.”
So if you didn’t have your family behind you what could happen?
“Without them it would be easy to fall into temptation and let it go to my head.”
You always appear so level-headed, even in the most delicate situations. Is it possible that nothing bothers you at all?
“Not necessarily. At times the anxiety arrives and I work to keep it under control. But it’s not some psychological secret. Playing a game on my PlayStation is enough to alleviate the tension. The important thing is to let your head go somewhere else.”
We’re imagining what you would play…
“Well, it’s obvious – FIFA 16. I also always buy myself in the transfer market, I spent €5 million (laughs).”
Such modesty. In real life you would value yourself much more, right?
“I try not to think about it. It all happens very fast, I only think about living in the moment and I give myself limits. As a supporter seeing myself in Milan is a beautiful feeling, but it still feels a bit strange.”
They say the second year is always the most difficult.
“I’m not afraid of that, I’m calm because I only know a culture of work, and putting in the work pays off.”
[Milan President Silvio] Berlusconi said that you’ll be Milan’s goalkeeper for the next twenty years. A wonderful compliment that in a way can be scary.
“Absolutely not. I really like the idea to renew [my contract] and I also like to think I will have a lasting relationship with Milan for the coming years. I’ve always been a Milan supporter and I must say the captain’s armband is a dream of mine, a crowning achievement in my career path. Obviously though, one thing at a time.”
What is one thing you don’t want to revisit from last year’s Milan?
“The drops in concentration. I only say that the Milan that fell out of the European places can’t been seen again. The campaign will be hard, but if Leicester can make their mark…”
The first match of the season you’ll see Mihajlovic again, the coach who launched your career. What effect will it have?
“I’ll never be able to thank him enough, he gave me so much, but I want to start the season well.”
What did he say to you before your debut?
“It was the night before the Milan-Sassuolo match and we were in a retreat in Milanello. He took me aside and asked me how I felt. I was astonished, I didn’t expect it but I knew he could count on me.”
First impressions of Montella?
“Excellent. He has so much desire, we’re all doing well. He’s the right coach to restart with.”
How did it feel to relegate someone like Diego Lopez to the bench?
“I always had an excellent relationship with him, even when I became the starter he was always nearby, giving me advice.”
Most emotional moment of the season?
“The 3-0 win over Inter in the derby.”
The error you would rather forget?
“[Domenico] Berardi’s goal at my near post in my debut.”
One thing you want to improve and your biggest strength.
“Playing with the ball at my feet, while I like my calm demeanor. On the pitch it’s important that I manage the game not like a 17-year-old, but with maturity.”
