AC Milan hero Roberto Donadoni feels his old club have overspent this summer.

But Donadoni is a fan of new €25 million signing Romagnoli.

“Italian teams are spending big on the transfer market again," he said. “And while this may surprise some people, it's a good thing.

“I hope this can raise the quality, because buying players of a high level raises the average quality of the championship, which had gone down a little in recent times.

“Some of the value estimations seemed a bit excessive to me though. For example, [Milan's new signing Alessio] Romagnoli.

“Juventus signed players of a high level without spending disproportionate amounts of money."
