There have been reports Juve are preparing a swoop for 17-year-old shot-stopper Donnarumma as the heir to Gigi Buffon.
“Milan have a winning model and it’s good to see so many young Italians in the line-up. Donnarumma? We have an extraordinary Buffon, a professional who is writing new pages in football history. We’ll hold on to him.
“Donnarumma is a rising star and I think he can improve game by game. Fortunately for Milan, he is their player.”
Last night Marotta commented that Juventus were keeping a close eye on Thiago Silva’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain, as he could become a free agent soon.
“Thiago Silva is an excellent player, but having said that it is our duty to look around at what is available. Today he is a PSG player, I don’t know if he will want to come back to Italy or if Juventus can open negotiations.”
