The Donnarumma brothers are quite a famous pair, but, for all the wrong reasons. Gianluigi Donnarumma is regarded as the best young goalkeeper in the world and AC Milan value him very, very highly.

However, the club struggled a fair bit to keep the 19-year-old Italian to the club. We often hear rumours of a conflict involving his agent (Mino Raiola) and the club board, regarding his contract and wages.

On top of that, Gianluigi only recently agreed to remain with the club on the condition that they provide his elder brother - Antonio - a contract too. This has led to the brother-duo and the fans of the club sharing a rather bitter relationship.

Interestingly enough, Antonio himself was an AC Milan youth product but didn't make a single appearance for the first team.

Things appear to be heading towards the right way, though. Gianluigi has continued to show promise, and Antonio kept a clean-sheet over 120 minutes against fierce rivals Inter on his debut.
