REVEALED: Why Raiola holding up Donnarumma AC Milan deal

AC Milan management expect an answer from Gianluigi Donnarumma today over their new contract offer.

Corriere della Sera says the date was agreed by both parties as Milan, should Donnarumma turn it down, want time to find his replacement.

The 18 year-old goalkeeper has declared he's happy with the Rossoneri, but there's little expectation inside Casa Milan that an answer will be delivered today.

Mino Raiola, Donnarumma's agent, is still haggling with Milan management over a buyout clause for his client.

Raiola wants an affordable price inserted in the deal for certain Champions League clubs, which Milan are refusing to accept.

Despite the row, those close to Donnarumma are confident he will sign the new agreement before the start of the new season.
