AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma admits he had several major offers to leave this summer.

Donnarumma was ready to leave Milan before the U21 Euros, ahead of committing to a new deal after the tournament.

"Let's just say that I don't think about money at all. I want to relax, enjoy my life with my family and my girlfriend. Money is secondary," the 18-year-old told the Corriere della Sera.

“In all honesty, at that moment during the Under-21 game, I didn't even realise they had thrown dollars. I could hear shouting, but I only noticed after the game had finished, when I saw the video footage. I was upset. At that moment I only wanted to focus on the Euros and I was sorry the fans felt I had betrayed them.

“I received many offers, I'll admit that, and gave up on a lot in order to stay at what I consider to be my home. At that time, I wanted to be concentrated only on the European Under-21 Championship, which was about to begin. I was 18 years old, it was a moment that could prove decisive in my career.

“I didn't have the right mindset to decide on such a big contract, so I wanted to wait until at least the end of the tournament. I could've earned more, but it wasn't an issue of money. During the Euros, absolute chaos erupted around my decision and it really hurt.

"Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid? In all honesty, I wasn't thinking about any other club, I was only focused on Milan.

“I was a little worried at returning to San Siro, I'll admit that, and was a bit pessimistic about how the crowd would react. Instead they were great, giving me the exact same welcome as last season."
