Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent as put the young Italian goalkeeper right in the centre of a storm. The words of the ever controversial Mino Raiola have left the AC Milan supporterts fuming, and they made their rage with 'Gigio' clear during the Coppa Italia clash with Verona.
The Milan faithful made their views clear with a banner which they made sure the goalkeeper would see: "Moral violence, 6 million per year and the signing of a parasite brother? Now get out, the patience is over!".
That was the reaction of the Milan 'ultras' after the comments from Mino Raiola, Donnarumma's agent, who claimed that his client only signed his new deal with the club because he felt pressure to, as Milan were threatening him with "moral violence".
Raiola's words provoked the rage of the more extreme 'rossoneri' fans, who took their anger out on the player himself, as well as his brother, also a goalkeeper at Milan at his own request.
They were harsh claims which clearly affected the 18-year-old goalkeeper, who ended the match in tears, despite the victory and clean sheet, and had to be consoled in the dressing room by Leonardo Bonucci.
Today, after everything had calmed down, Donnarumma replied to his fans through social media and his words cast serious doubts on the claims from his agent.
"I didn't expect it, it has been a difficult night. I never said that I suffered "moral violence" on signing the contract. Despite everything, I'm still looking forward and I am fully focused on the next game. Forza Milan," Donnarumma wrote on his Instagram account, alongside a photo of himself with Gattuso.
