No deal for AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma - Mino Raiola

AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has not been the subject of a €38 million bid from Chelsea, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

Donnarumma, 17, has taken world football by storm and is attracting the interest of Europe's elite after securing a regular starting berth for the Rossoneri. The youngster made his debut for Italy's under-21s recently, but Raiola insists nobody has been in touch with him about a possible transfer.

"If such an offer has been made, then it's clearly been made only to Milan and not to me," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I don't know anything about this story."

Raiola, who is set for a busy summer with transfer rumours also surrounding his other clients Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Paul Pogba, indirectly suggested that €38m is too little for the emerging goalkeeper, who is tipped to succeed Gianluigi Buffon as Italy's next No. 1.

Manchester United have also been linked with Donnarumma, who has made 22 appearances for the Rossoneri this season.
