Gianluigi Donnarumma

[TornAndFrayed]

Date of birth: February 25, 1999
Height: 1.96 m (6 ft 5 in)
Current club: AC Milan
Playing position: Goalkeeper.


Any goalkeeper named Gianluigi debuting at 16 for AC Milan deserves his own thread
Debuted on October 25 at home against Sassuolo after Diego Lopez was dropped following three games without a win (??!!)

Had very little to do save when he conceded a direct free-kick on his near post.
Milan won although they didn't deserve to.

Man ,16 and deputing for Milan as a GK .
either this kid is really good or Milan is really bad or both

 

[TornAndFrayed]

I'd go for both. 10 men Sassuolo were better.

Good luck to him

Diego Lopez loses out to a kid, gotta hurt your ego

There had been rumours he would start the game for about a week. Superstar in the making.

Probably 1% chance he will turn into a superstar.

Probably 1% chance he will turn into a superstar.

His agent is Mino Raiola and huge clubs like man utd, RM and PSG allegedly started following him this summer. Also the youngest keeper ever to debut in Serie A.

Fkin lol at a 16 year old goalkeeper, not even in my wildest FM daydreams would I do that. Fair play to the guy.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

He's supposed to start again against Chievo on Wednesday.

 

[DonAK]

Has Diego Lopez been so bad he got replaced by a 16 year old?

 

[EdmondDantes]

Probably 1% chance he will turn into a superstar.

I think he will. Italy are due another world-class keeper to follow Buffon.

In all fairness, it's not like Chievo made it hard for him.
He only had to make two fairly ordinary saves and a good one.
