Why didn’t Manchester City buy Donnarumma earlier? Reporter with the team: Milan wanted a sky-high price back then

Hupu reported on October 10th that Jack Gowan, a northern football reporter from the "Post" who mainly reports on Manchester City, wrote about the recent hot topics about Manchester City. This part is about Donnarumma.

It is reported that Manchester City was interested in Donnarumma when he was young - why didn't this signing be further promoted?

To put it bluntly, it is a question of money. At that time, the price AC Milan offered for an 18-year-old player - even though the 18-year-old player had already played for two full seasons at one of the world's top clubs - was considered too high, almost sky-high.

Although some fans may be skeptical about this, the fact that Manchester City later signed Ederson for 35 million pounds - the second-highest transfer fee for a goalkeeper at the time - is enough to prove that Milan's original asking price was indeed staggeringly high.
