Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said Gianluigi Donnarumma ‘would have stayed’ if the Rossoneri ‘had given him what he asked for’ and believes the Italy international is ‘stronger’ than Keylor Navas.
The 22-year-old left Milan after 2020-21, when his contract at San Siro expired. He joined the French giants on a free transfer, as the Rossoneri didn’t match his wage demands.

But the shot stopper has struggled for playing time under Mauricio Pochettino at the Parc des Princes, where Navas is the preferred option in goal.
Ibrahimovic, however, pointed out the young goalkeeper would have remained at Milan if the club had met his demands and believes he will be able to claim the place between the sticks at PSG.
“Gigio is a great goalkeeper,” Ibrahimovic told Corriere della Sera. “If they had given him what he asked for, he would have stayed at Milan.
“Now, he must fight to be a starter at PSG. Gigio is stronger.”
Ibrahimovic, who turned 40 in October, was then asked about his own future and stressed he’s not sure what he will do after his playing career.
“The future worries me a bit,” he admitted. “At the age of 40 I got a bit anxious.
“If I will become a coach? I don’t know, it’s so stressful … I’ll do something that will give me adrenaline. But as long as I hold up, I’ll be a centre-forward. I want to play for the Scudetto until the last day. And go to the World Cup in Qatar.”
