Mattia Perin’s agent insists it will “still take a couple of seasons” for Milan’s Gigio Donnarumma to reach his client’s level.
The Genoa goalkeeper was seen by many as the heir to Gianluigi Buffon in the Italy squad, but he has still made just one appearance for the Azzurri.
After the 17-year-old Rossoneri man made his debut against France, Perin’s agent believes his client should be given more space.

The Genoa goalkeeper was seen by many as the heir to Gianluigi Buffon in the Italy squad, but he has still made just one appearance for the Azzurri.
After the 17-year-old Rossoneri man made his debut against France, Perin’s agent believes his client should be given more space.
“Donnarumma has taken advantage of wearing the Milan shirt to subvert Perin in the hierarchy,” Matteo Roggi told TeleGenova.
“In terms of playing time, Perin deserves more. Donnarumma is a great goalkeeper, but for him to get to the level of Perin it will still take a couple of seasons.
“As for Perin, he’s still only 24, in the national team he’s living in a historic time between two great goalkeepers, so he’ll have to elbow his way in but he’ll find space.”
