Having left AC Milan “like a thief”, Gianluigi Donnarumma will return to San Siro tomorrow evening. His reception promises to be eventful.
Tuesday evening, at 9 p.m., AC Milan will host Paris Saint-Germain on the fourth day of the group stages of the Champions League. The opportunity for Gianluigi Donnarumma to return to San Siro, the stadium in which he played for the first six seasons of his career.
But the reception promises to be hostile for number 99 of PSG. “It ended on bad terms between him and AC Milan, our supporters are very warm… He will have a very difficult reception”, estimated the man who replaced him in the goals of the Lombard club, Mike Maignan, this Monday at a press conference. Indeed, the transalpine goalkeeper had left his training club being free of any contract. The club from the capital of France therefore did not have to pay the slightest transfer fee to get him back.

AC Milan supporters are clearly waiting for their former last bastion to turn the corner. “Donnarumma will see how San Siro welcomes traitors. What he is criticized for is not having left the club. It’s having done it without leaving a euro at the club even though he said it was his family. And indeed, that’s where he grew up since he was 14 years old. And he left like a thief”warned a Milanese fan in the columns of Parisian this Monday.
