Gigio Donnarumma’s agent says Manchester City turmoil won’t affect his future

Agent Enzo Raiola told Radio Napoli Centrale that the legal turmoil surrounding Manchester City will not alter Gigio Donnarumma’s situation, despite last week’s speculation linking the Italian goalkeeper with a shock Serie A return and interest from Juventus and Inter.

Italian clubs eye the goalkeeper

Last week, the Manchester City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was linked with a surprise move back to the Serie A. Both Juventus and Inter have been monitoring his situation, seeing an opportunity. The catalyst for such speculation is the Citizens’ legal trouble, having been found guilty of 114 charges in the Premier League.

The two Italian sides have expressed a keen interest in exploiting the uncertainty surrounding the Premier League club, and both clubs see the legal issues as a chance to secure a world‑class goalkeeper.

Wages and reassurance from Manchester City

Enzo Raiola told Radio Napoli Centrale that the Manchester City chaos cannot change anything for Gigio. He said the club has spoken to the goalkeeper, reassuring him that everyone is calm. Raiola added that important matches against Liverpool and Paris Saint‑Germain are looming, after which sporting justice will take its course.

Donnarumma earns hefty wages that only Manchester City appear able to meet at present. A return to Italy would require a substantial wage cut, which the agent suggested may not be possible and could jeopardise his contract terms.

Raiola praised the keeper’s growth, calling him one of the best in the world despite criticism. He recalled saying for years that Donnarumma would be the best and that he should eventually feature in an important national‑team project.

The agent also lamented unfair criticism of Donnarumma’s value and noted that he has lost his leadership role in the national team. Raiola affirmed that the goalkeeper fully represents Italy, hailing his hometown Castellammare as a historic source of great goalkeepers and Campania as an important hub.
