Juventus GM Marotta admits they could move for Donnarumma

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta has admitted interest in AC Milan contract rebel Gigio Donnarumma.

Marotta won't rule out a move for the goalkeeper.

“For clubs it's increasingly difficult to handle these situations," Marotta told Corriere della Sera.

“We're faced with a radical change in the image of a young footballer, now they have professionals close to them and they play out their career, even in opposition to the clubs which raised them. That's a fact.

“The rules need to be changed, and the efforts clubs make in the youth sector must be protected with some kind of compulsory apprenticeship.

“Could Juve sign him? It's clear that Juve have the right to examine every opportunity. When a player is on the market we have a duty to try.

“Are we in for him? At the moment, no…

“He's a talent, then we have to distinguish between a talent and a champion."
