Juventus coach Allegri: We don't need Donnarumma. We have Szczesny

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri insists they have no interest in AC Milan goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma.

Allegri says Wojciech Szczesny is their chosen successor for Gigi Buffon when he retires at the end of the season.

“Szczesny is Buffon's heir, I've already said that and I repeat it," Allegri declared.

Juventus did good business in getting such a good player and bringing him in a year before Gigi stops at Juventus.

“I'm very happy, there's a good relationship between the two of them, they respect each other both as professionals and as men, so I don't see any problem.

“Donnarumma is a young lad who has to grow, he's at Milan and he's forging his path. But Juventus have Buffon's replacement."
