Don't blame Raiola for Donnarumma leaving Milan for PSG: Super-agent got Italy star exactly what he wanted

 

There has been an attempt to portray Raiola as the bad guy in the goalkeeper's move to Paris, but the 22-year-old is the one calling the shots

Gianluigi Donnarumma will not be able to get the squad number he wants at Paris Saint-Germain. Mino Raiola, though, has already secured the one that really counts.

Indeed, the news that Donnarumma will be unable to wear his preferred No.99 jersey at Parc des Princes means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

What matters is that PSG have agreed to pay Donnarumma the €12 million (£10.3/$14.6m) yearly salary that self-styled 'super-agent' Raiola was seeking all along, making it quite the week for the 53-year-old.
