Is Gianluigi Donnarumma worth 170 million?

- Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has said that the French midfielder will not leave Juventus in the January transfer window, Mirror reports. Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona are reportedly interested in the 22-year-old. However, Riola ruled out a January move for Pogba.

“Pogba is no longer a surprise,” said Raiola. “He’s not a youngster just being discovered. A player with his talent is known to everybody. There have been offers for him, and they’re still there. Last summer he decided to stay another year at Juve, and he kept his word. We’re not preoccupied with thoughts of his future, we’re thinking about that.

“Paul is a lad who decides with his heart, and at the moment he’s focused on Juventus. I can categorically rule out a move in January. In the future we’ll see, we’ll talk at the end of July,” Riola said.

- According to reports, Arsenal was interested in luring Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan with a £32million bid. However, Daily Express reports that the Argentine has rejected a possible move to the Emirates saying that being the captain of the team he can not leave them when they are playing so well.

“I stay here this season as I did the last one. I'm also the captain and I can't leave a team which is doing good things,” he was reported saying.

- In a rather over-the-top comment, super agent Mino Raiola has said that AC Milan’s young goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is “worth 170 million”, Sky Sports reports. The 16-year-old Italian is tipped to become the next Gianluigi Buffon and has kept ex-Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez out of the starting XI.

I'd compare him to a Modigliani [piece by Italian artist Amadeo]. He's worth 170 million. He has a great future. He's an extraordinary kid and everyone loves him,” Riola said.
