Galliani: Donnarumma an AC Milan player thanks to... me!

AC Milan GM Adriano Galliani says he's responsible for Gianluigi Donnarumma's emergence.

Galliani, speaking sarcastically, is adamant the teen is only a Milan player thanks to him.

"I wish I knew," he began with Corriere della Sera, "who discovered Donnarumma when he was 14 and took him to Milan.

"And above all who secured his signature to a first professional contract at 16?

"At that age he could go for zero euros abroad and (agent Mino) Raiola has that speciality."
