“In my opinion, Gigio should leave Milan.”
Raiola has also been talking up a Premier League return for ex-Man City and Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli, adding: “He is ready to return, he has matured into one of the top ten strikers in the world.
“In Italy he’s number one. He’s worth £88million but he’s on a free transfer and is therefore a bargain.
“I’m negotiating with many clubs in England and Italy.
“I’ve spoken with Juventus, Roma, Napoli and Inter.”
Meanwhile, additional reports claim Napoli star Pepe Reina has agreed a free transfer to Milan this summer as Donnarumma’s No 2 – despite interest from Newcastle and former boss Rafa Benitez.
