Gianluigi Donnarumma (born 25 February 1999) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Milan and the Italy national team.
Long considered one of Italy's most exciting prospects, and one of the most promising young footballers of his generation, Donnarumma is widely regarded as the successor to Gianluigi Buffon. Buffon himself has in turn praised the teenager's physical strength and technical abilities, mental composure and decision making.
He began his career with Milan in 2015, becoming the second-youngest goalkeeper ever to debut in Serie A, aged 16 years and 242 days; he immediately broke into the starting line-up, earning a reputation as arguably the most promising young goalkeeper in the world at the time. He also broke the record as the youngest Italy under-21 player ever to play, aged 17 years and 28 days in March 2016. Six months later, he made his senior international debut, becoming the youngest goalkeeper ever to appear for Italy, aged 17 years and 189 days.<\/P>","32F0494A6A8D9C00F8184D20C089D458":"1999-2-25","72FFC7073AEDD99FBC6698239F961CC0":"2021-7-14","556D73B2C9A2AD6A1BFA53519B08D73A":"99","E630D11720E4B295":"1","B13BBD17F9E21D375893DBD6F2FC7F72":"3","07FC4394D7BF000AA5BFC85E2D0D6D63":"Italy","50F712C5D7EA2EE5C48850A5D641D459":"AC Milan","249186B187931B83":"90kg","B30DC6D2B47145B087D8B1C6299DD194":"40000000.00","B30DC6D2B47145B0561823D5497E0EB0F2ED3572A53AF87A":"1","2A56C1DBE121525F":"Paris Saint-Germain","07457F0B881B82B22AE30767A70DD3E1":"
