- AC Milan’s director wants to bring Pepe Reina to the San Siro this summer
- Gianlugi Donnaruma is likely to leave as Milan line up his replacement
- Donnaruma has previously been linked with Real Madrid, PSG and Juventus
AC Milan’s teenage sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma looks increasingly likely to leave the San Siro this summer.
Milan director Massimiliano Mirabelli admitted the club are looking to bring in Napoli’s Pepe Reina amid growing speculation their 19-year-old goalkeeper will move on.
Donnarumma has been linked with moves to Real Madrid, PSG and Juventus in recent times as the shot-stopper continues to impress.

Mirabelli told Sky Sport Italia: ‘We did inform Napoli that we want to speak to Pepe Reina’s agent, because we want to see if there’s a possibility of bringing the player to Milan.’
Reina’s contract at Napoli will run out this summer, despite his help in taking them to the top of the league as they challenge Juventus’ dominance.
The 35-year-old looks set to replace Donnarumma who has been linked with the exit door at Milan multiple times over the past year.
His initial refusal to sign a new deal at Milan last summer led to him having fake money thrown at him during a U21’s European Championship match.

Mirabelli, who was speaking about Reina ahead of Milan’s 2-0 loss to Arsenal, said: ‘We are always looking to the future.’
He also gave his backing to manager, Gennaro Gattuso, who had led the side to a 13 match unbeaten run prior to the defeat against Arsenal.
‘You all know that if I am here, then Gennaro Gattuso will remain at Milan. He may well remain even without me!’
