Liverpool to slap in opening Donnarumma bid after Champions League final

Liverpool are ready to make an opening bid for AC Milan goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma.

The young Italy international is expected to leave Milan this summer after enduring a rough time with home supporters this past season.

Corriere dello Sport says immediately after Saturday's Champions League final, Liverpool will table an opening €40m offer for Donnarumma. However, the Rossonero rate Donnarumma at €70m.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp met with Donnarumma's agent, Mino Raiola, last week where it's understood the keeper's situation was discussed.

Milan chief Massimiliano Mirabelli stated last week: "He is part of the club's heritage and we wouldn't let go of him easily, unless of course someone values him the way he must be valued.

“If a good enough offer arrived, any of our players could be sold. There are far richer clubs out there and we have to choose other paths."
