Milan submitted an offer to Raiola for a contract renewal of €6 million net plus €1 million as the Champions League qualification bonus. The second offer contained a two-year intermediate offer of €7 million plus a bonus of €1 million.

However, Raiola wants a €12 million a year contract extension for his player. Raiola and Donnarumma wish to wait and see if Milan are to make another offer after securing their qualification for the Champions League. They are also waiting to see what kind of offers will come from the international market.

Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Chelsea all are keeping tabs on Donnarumma as a player of his caliber won’t be available for free again. Milan remain calm about the situation as they are hopeful that Donnarumma will understand the situation.
