AC Milan star goalkeeperGianluigi Donnarumma's agent Mino Raiola has confirmed that talks between him and the club's representatives are on hold, regarding the shot-stopper's first pro-contract.
Donnarumma, who turned 18 on the 25th of February has been hailed as the successor to the legendary Gianluigi Buffon, due to his excellent performances since his debut for AC Milan. There are a number of top European clubs who have expressed an interest in signing the keeper, and with Raiola's recent revelations, his future at the Italian club is on shaky ground.

"It's hard to be a regular starter in Italy at his age.I can't predict the future, I don't know what will happen next. We've decided not to talk about the future of Donnarumma but I haven't spoken with any representative of the new board yet. To me, AC Milan is still represented by Galliani. I can't really talk about new owners because I don't know them", Raiola said, asquoted by Calciomercato.

Donnarumma does his job and i do mine. I must think about his future then he has the last word. Of course I must consider which club AC Milan will become. He doesn't deserve a great AC Milan, Donnarumma deserves a big club. My job is not being the fan of a club.�
The 18-year-old has played 59 games for Milan so far, registering 19 clean sheets and has earneda regular place in the Italy international setup.
