Mattia Perin seems to be the leading candidate to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma but there is still no agreement with Genoa over his valuation and there are also some questions surrounding his health.

Milan are in need for a new starting keeper after Donnarumma communicated through his agent Mino Raiola yesterday of his ‘definitive’ decision to reject the contract extension offered to him (5-year deal worth more than €5m per season).

According to Sky, Marco Fassone and Mirabelli have decided to focus on Mattia Perin. Sky reports on Friday that the Diavolo are offering Genoa €7-8m plus bonuses related to appearances, but il Grifone are demanding a higher figure.

Alfredo Pedulla suggests that Perin’s new agent Alessandro Lucci, who also helped Vincenzo Montella get to Milan last year, proposed the player to the Rossoneri. In addition to the price-tag (differences between offer and request), there is also a question mark about the physical condition of Perin, who is currently in the final stages of recovery from a second anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The player therefore could be asked to undergo checks so that Milan would be able to determine his condition before proceeding with the negotiations. Sky states that Mirabelli likes the player (wanted him during his time at Inter) while Montella has already given his green light for the transfer.

The alternative to Perin seems to be Norberto Neto of Juventus. The Bianconeri are asking €10-12m for the former Fiorentina man who played 11 matches since 2015, and Milan consider it too much.

Perin is the best achievable alternative regarding the pure abilities. Of course it’s a high risk due to his injuries, but that amount (even the 11-12 million) worth a try.

Rikimaru Tenchu

I think we should go for Perin with Plizarri as the second Keeper. This would Mean Plizarri can be introduced gradually whenever we rest Perin

Manga la figa

Absolutely, I remember his name came up a few years ago numerous times as Abs was getting up in age.
This kid can be a solid signing and with Abs help we can groom Plizzari’s to take over the reins in a few yews time.
Dollaruma big mouth brother-in-law has opined again saying that the kid is really a Milan fan and those who are pissed with him aren’t really Milan fans!!!!lol

B Hutama

Yes, a Milan fan, who get appreciated and play as starter in his senior career (17 years old).. who always say that he loved Milan more.. And decided to leave with REFUSE our renew contract. I don’t know where is that love.

Kaka, Ibrahimovic, T.Silva leaving Milan because Milan’s financial issue… If not, they will never wants to leave Milan. That’s what i know about becoming Milan Fan and Love this club. I still remembered that time when kaka say that his dream to becoming Milan’s Captain and Legend :”).

agustinar

I wonder what happens with our loan players now ? Are they sent back to their club yet ?

BensonMilan

I read a complete report on the players we sent on loan on http://www.Angolan-zone.fr for those who understand French. I don’t think none of them is ready to be helping build a great team like Milan. Mauri, Hashim, Gabriel etc…Even the clubs to which they were sent on loan don’t want to keep them for another year

BensonMilan

Sorry the phone autotype spelled it. The website is http://www.acmilan-zone.fr for the report on the players we sent on loan.

Jibola

Get Perin (who is equally very good) and Neto as back up (in case Perin has injury setback), extend Plizarri’s contract and send him on loan without right to buy where he would play regularly for 2 seasons.
Donna is a past, let’s face the future with optimism and sure we would be fine but i want to assure you, Donna would want to come back to Milan one day.

Philldadon1899

After what he just pulled. I wouldnt want him back. He can go ROT on his new team with his agent

Raven

Now he threatens to sue milan if Montella doesn’t play him that kid is a piece of shit

Brkudo

Latest report said that ronaldo wants to quit madrid…i hope ths true so instant karma for u donna

Milan10

In the past news like this would have gotten milanisti wet but ironically donna raised the bar so high that perin is only considered “a caretaker” now to fill in until plizzari’s ready.
Acl injury is one of two deadliest injuries for footballers btw.

Paulo

Perin is better he too love to be in milan earlier before now i forsee a good future in him @ milan
For plizarri let see what he can do during pre season weather he can cope with the big names Perin is better
Forza Milan

Agni

Got to get him. He will do well with us if he remains injury free.
In any case it’s the best bet as of now.
Plizarri as back up and throw him in the goal in coppa Italia games so his development is also fast tracked.

Milanista121

This is the best alternative, and i think that if he wont be fit until the beginning of the season we can use Plizzari, and see how he performs. Like Milan10 said, if this was two years ago, we wouldve been over the moon with his transfer, but i’m still delighted with it! Perin is close to world class but he is still only 24 years old and has several years ahead of him! Hope this happens!

Goodwillie

The guy is still a kid and its the nature of kids to make huge mistakes which they eventually learn from; sometimes these mistakes don’t just teach us a lesson but they leave us with a gangrene that can never be healed. Farewell GD99. FORZA MILANO. #No Player Is Bigger Than Milan#

Mello

Perin is a really talented keeper, I would sure like him as Dollaruma’s replacement. Hopefully when Perin isn’t playing we can play Plizzari and in this way slowly intergrate him into the team.

I really have my hopes high on Plizzari, I hope he’ll become as great as we all hope he’s gonna be.

Its been a set back of Donnarumma’s news, but we cant let that beat our mercato which has been going well so far.

Keep your heads up high lads!

Forza Milan!

Austine

Comment:Let us just get the guy already. I believe that he will be fine, once we have a good defensive set up for him.
Forza Milano all the way.

joel david

Plz let us get parin faster before another club come for him. Now we can be rest assure that we can get plizarri on line.

Milanellofm

Honestly it’s been 24 hours since the news and I still have a sour taste in my mouth. But before dollarumma I always wanted perin. He’s a fantastic keeper and unfortunately injuries have stalled his development from being a top keeper. But in that case too if we can get him at such a low price like under 10m then go all out for him. If he gets injured here or there it could also give plizzari some play time. A big No to neto, Reina, and trapp. I wouldn’t mind Alex meret or simone scuffet but perin is a… Read more »

Milan #1

How about Casillas?

nick

Hello No! Galliani is that You? We don’t need old players that are past their prime.

For the love of god please leave Milan now. Perin or Scuffet is what we need.

dejan10

#1 How about Dida?…

Gallo

Hahahah why not consider my father haha lol

Jankulovski

Just give plizzari the job. Stotari and Gabriel as back ups. Strengthen the midfield.

Vinnie

If only gabriel had gone on loan to a club where he had actually played, instead of warming a bench, we would know if he is worthy of the gloves or not. The only keeper that excites me right now is Perin, but two torn ACLs in what, little over a year – he’s not a footballer, he’s a patient! Still, if he passes scrutiny in medicals, i would love to see him between the posts. I’m not big on Navas at all. Trapp neither. Reina, hell eff no. Plizzarri… Let’s wait and see. As for right now he isn’t… Read more »

al83

Very well said. Regarding Plizzarri, we need to be very cautious. We have to consider that this year won’t be 2015 or 2016. The expectations are much higher and I doubt if the 16yr old Donna would have any chance in a year like 2017. 2 years ago, the whole team was crap, nobody was expecting anything which was the perfect timing for 16-17yr old keeper. No pressure at all. But fortunately things change. So let’s better leave Plizzarri aside for some time.

A92

Perin is a great option, the guy stated a while ago that he wanted Milan. He may be injury prone, but Plizzari is a great backup and if he ends up taking no.1 spot from Perin, great. We can’t expect Plizzari to be number 1 now though…too much pressure!

No more words for Donnarumma. Sell him to Real and get Kovacic as part of the deal. Let’s not lower ourselves to Donnarumma’s level and keep him to rot in the stands- we don’t need his greed and negativity hanging around the club.

Gallo

I read in d forza italia the milan curv sub says dat they have given the go ahed for donanarumma. root in.bench till his contract expires .and in return raiola threaten to sue us of we don’t play him . I don’t really know perin but I believe when our defence is good and solid keeper has no problem get us a good goal man and plizarri as back up.basta hope we can stll get conti ,frosberg,belotti and a talented midfielder to balance d equation.for donarumma is a old gist let’s move forward

MilanBoy

Why not trial Gabriel….I think he is good. Let see on friendly match, he only need a time to show his talent.

BensonMilan

He’s been disater as a loaner. We can’t count on him

Gredenko

It’s a shame,i think Milan want to make another mistake just like Andre pirlo by giving Lazio montolivo,Montolivo is still one of the best midfielder in Italy that is y after a long injury Italy still invites him for national.Please don’t sell Montolivo

Alok

U can’t compare Monti and pirlo..Monti is rubbish..he was good got viola..but now he is done..gone are the b and g days where Monti n co got seedorf out of Milan

yusuf toheeb ayinde

Comment:hello’2 Milan fan’s pls I will like m.fassone nd m.mirabeli 2 allow G.donaruma 2 leave, let him leave I know that any where he goes 2 he will surely regret DAT he leaves Milan club.if Milan didn’t use him who knows him, so let him go will we see another great nd quality keeper.about M.Raiola, Raiola is a Big nd completely thief B/cos he sees about 40m euro Paul pogba nd Z.ibrahimovi last season DAT is the reason why he confused donaruma 2 reject Milan offer.

DE Original

I strongly agree with A92 who do he think he IS.a mere 18 boy can not be bigger than this club never the was there before they got married to his mother .we should allow him to go but I’m promising all Milan fans to keep cool he live to regret his decision. Real Madrid is too big for the greedy 18 year boy I don’t think Madrid are ready to put their trust in him as we do. Still ac for real

Hachim

agree with you. Perin was one of the keepers I would have wanted in goals, followed by butland, hetan or Szczesny.

If we get him for 10m then that would be perfect. and plazzarri as back up would be ideal.

1milanfansouthafrica

Lafont from france is also really good.

niels8

If he played in a club as big as milan, he would be as sensational as Gigio.

WhereIsTheSpirit

I read a news that Danielle Massaro predicts Dollarumma will go to Juventus. Prepare to boohoo him whenever he touches the ball.
Considering Perin’s condition, I suggest to negotiate with FC Groningen for their 27 y.o goalie, Sergio Padt. He has good reflexes and 192 cm height.

Milanellofm

Hearing madrid going to offer Navas plus cash. Na, get James straight trade for dolla’ and just buy perin for cheap. If he stays healthy he can be a world class keeper for the next 10 years. Navas is good but he’s 30 and I’d rather get a castaway like James and get an Italian gk

Gio

That trade sounds good but Real is asking way too much for him. I mean he is one of the best creative player if you see his numbers. That’s where Mirabelli and Fassone get in cause they have to negotiate that James didn’t have too much time playing so why ask so much money for a player that is not in the initial 11. Anyway he is world class. Navas HELL NO. Go for Perin

Forza Milan!!!

paul

perin is even better than donna. I can still recalled for some years ago galliani wanted to sign him.
get him fast, I believe he turn out injury free. while eye on pliza and occasional chance given.

rossonerisiamonoi

In the past two seasons Perin has spent a total of 431 days injured , i wouldn’t go for him and as much as i would love Plizzari to be our new wonderkid goalkeeper sensation we won’t afford to play him much in the next season cause we are aiming cl spots . I wonder if Real Madrid affords keeping a kid ,game after game in front of goal . Donnarumma is very young and the other teams don’t care about his talent and what he may become , he might fall under preassure and become a benchwarmer . As… Read more »

rossonerisiamonoi

And by the way , Jordan Pickford was the wonderkid sensation of goalies last year with Donnarumma being just a shadow compared to him , too bad he went to Everton

Stephen Omodara

Madrid are willing to include Navas in d deal. Y can’t we stick with Navas while Plizzari learn from him. We need to save d money for a playmaker. #am all 4 Plizza

Sebleh E Davies Jr

I really believe in Perin. Whenever Milan play against Genoa, its always difficult for Milan to win if Perin is between the goal post. I really believe Perin is the right choice for Milan at this moment.

Baresis Dream

I was for him in the beginning, but this was before I heard about the injury. I say we look elsewhere.

Milanellofm

Close to perin or Leno. Bernd Leno is a great gk and so is perin. Either or I’m happy with.

Protheus

I cant believe Gigio is leaving us, ive been dissapointed with milan when they sell kaka, but i never hated kaka, nor i can hate milan. This time its different, Gigio really breaks my heart, what a disappointment, i thought he was better thn that. Perin is a household name, no doubt, but somehow the selfish part of me want another “Gigio”, and we do have one in Plizzari, why dont we just try him for this season, if things went bad, we can always count on winter mercato. But i do have a feeling hes not gonna be a… Read more »

dubfire

We can’t afford experiments these days. We borrowed money, and we have a plan, and if we don’t qualify to Cl next season, will be a big financial boo-boo. On the other hand we need 3 goalkeepers, and at this point we have 2, one being older than my grandfather.

Protheus

Right i missed that part lol.. I still want the kids to play, loca, plizzari.. Especially remembering how loca goals to juventus brought me to cloud nine.. Its a pride, its like thumping our chest and yelled we are ac milan!

Gio

It is better to have a proven goalkeeper and leave Plizarri for Copa Italia to start warming. If he goes well on that you can start giving him chances against low position Serie A rivals and keep learning… But we don’t want another Donnaruma that became the starlet and start asking for money money money…

Kaka

I still believe donaruma will change his mind and stay with the best football club ac Milan and sign a new contract but if it didn’t happen then we have plizarri he is 17yrs of age and he is singing new contract no worry and good luck for gigio

L96ai

I want Bernd Leno. Seeing Leno’s statistics, he excels at big matches, showing he has a good handling of pressure. Because you guys are going to compare him with dollarumma, better get someone who has nerves of steel. Besides, he’s going to be Germany’s no. 1 after neuer goes.

L96ai

Oh, to be clear, I don’t want Perin. Why do you want someone from a club whose job is to defend, with a team that has less offensive mindset than peers, yet still has goals against bigger than peers?

I agree that leverkusen is not on the top spot either in Bundesliga, but seeing how offensive-minded leverkusen is, yet having goals against less than peers, showing that there is somebody who is a jewel in their defense. I believe that jewel is Bernd Leno.

Gio

I think it is better to focus in the team we are assembling and start giving experience to our young Italian players, that become the core of the future Milan, instead of buy for example what you say who is going to become #1 Germany GK… What you think he is going to do when he has more experience??? He is gonna leave to Bayern Munich…

L96ai

Are you implying that we will not become as big as bayern? When we become as big as bayern, then all players in the future Milan squad won’t be tempted to risk changing clubs just for the sake of playing for “bigger club”. For a player to move side, they will have to adjust to new culture, new system, new teammates, new leagues environment, etc.

If you are already in a big club, getting good pay, will you take a move to a club with the same stature, with the risk of adjusting to the factors mentioned above?

Mansa

Any decent goal keeper will do the trick. We just need a compact midfield and defence. I like Perin, even more his schoolboy hair style. Leno is another option. Mila have enough goalkeeping talents to lose sleep over Donna. Plus our style of play is possession based which means the keeper won’t be facing too many shots except on big occasions. On Raiola threatening to force Milan to play Donna; how does he think his teammates will treat him in the locker room? Or even the fans who will boo him till he chooses to go to the stands himself?… Read more »

Deb

How will Raiola force?Now agents have the say in who gets to play in the team or what?Our player,our decision.We will bench him.Bench the two faced snake.What if agents of every player forces their players to be played then what happens…..Simple line.You played your cards.Now i will play mine.We wont play him….

Danny

Comment:fassobelli get me folsberg…..the guy has vision,techniques,speed,dribbling skills.he can also give killer passes to our strikers ……I jux need folsberg at Milan….how many of you agree?

….forza milan

sexion

This kid is deceitful, he has been truly dishonest. He should have notified the club so early abt not renewing. An example should be smade of this kid. He should be demoted to the primevera side so he would lose his spot in the next year national team world cup squad. Right now I hate this fu*king ungrateful piece of shit Donna.

da law

Funny ac milan fans. U want an injured keeper to take over from Dollaruma aka the snake. Navas is a champion and is always welcome if the news is legit. Lets pls sell or player exchange we cannot start a personal vendetta with the snake .this is a business entity so pls gays think like Milanistas not aboring bitterness.
He was a snake right from time, he did it with inter milan so lets move o. Am surprised Gillani name came out in this business.

addz

Swap donna for madrids James. Zidane dsnt want him, so it just might work out

ac_scrimizzi

I’ve had 2 acl reconstructions and I re-tore one of them but didn’t go through with a third reconstruction. Plus 4 arthroscopes due to torn cartilage from my injuries.
It’s too risky plus you lose a bit of ability from major surgery in my experience.
I would look elsewhere.

abba salman Ayagi

Pls mgt let him go dont wast our time milan is bigger than gigion from nigeria i gave the perin transfer strong recommendation

Xiangfu

Comment: if we are afraid of perrin injury, the best option are scezny, scuffet because leno will still leave for bayern because of the regulation in germany. For example why cant we or any other club sign rudy, sule, dahoud and co? That offer more than bayern, bayern sign sule less than 20m while chelsea offer over 30m
