AC Milan great Franco Baresi is happy seeing Gigio Donnarumma wearing the captain's armband.

Baresi is now the club's honourary vice-president.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Bringing it to 22 is a privilege and you must know this. His value and qualities.

"He has grown here and we know how important he could still be for Milan, even in the coming years."

Donnarumma's current deal expires at the end of the season.
