The latest rumours surrounding the future of AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma have once against incensed the club's fans, the the Milan faithful hurling abuse at their young goalkeeper during the 3-0 Coppa Italia win over Hellas Verona on Wednesday. The abuse proved too much for the youngster, who broke down and couldn't hold back his tears in the dressing room.

Italian TV channel 'RAI' captured the moment that the AC Milan star broke down after being on the end of the heckling and abuse from his own fans at the San Siro.

Leonardo Bonucci took it upon himself to support his team-mate in the dressing room, attempting to console the young goalkeeper as he struggled to hide his emotions.

"Piece of Sh**", "Under duress is earning €6m per year and paying the wages of a parasitic brother? Leave now, we're out of patience" were among the messages directed at the 18-year-old at the San Siro.

Mino Raiola had reportedly been attempting to have the player's contract extension 'annulled' on the grounds that the player had felt pressured into signing it, leading to an angry reaction from the AC faithful.
