Donnarumma: The new Italian starlet
Born in Casterllammare near Stabia, like Fabio Quagliarella, Gianluigi Donnarumma, 16, is already settled in with his role with AC Milan. The youngest goalkeeper in the history of Serie A but not there by luck, he has already earned the Rosseneri many valuable points thanks to a series of spectacular saves. Even though he is extremely tall, he has incredible reflexes, giving the illusion that he is well experienced. Roma, Juve, Fiorentina who are some of the biggest clubs in Italy, Donnarmma has managed to keep them scoreless. Shown below are two of his highest quality saves.
The future of Milan... and of the Azzurra?
A massive fan of Gianluigi Buffon, Donnarumma resembles some of the traits of his hero. With less than one goal conceded per game in the league (0.75), he is keeping Diego Lopez out of the side. "Gods gift" according to Abbiati, he has the potential to grow to an incredible talent. Recently selected for the U21’s, it would not be surprising to see the pride of Raoila, guard the nets for the national side by 2018. One thing is for sure that his talent is real, and he will be talked about for years to come.
