Genoa’s Mattia Perin compliments Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, but says there’s no rivalry between them “as long as Gigi Buffon is around”.
The pair are seen as potential heirs to the Juventus man in the Italy squad, with Buffon having amassed 165 caps for his country.
“Donnarumma? I can only compliment him,” Perin told the Grifone’s official website.

“Donnarumma? I can only compliment him,” Perin told the Grifone’s official website.
“He’s very young and has enormous qualities, but as long as Buffon, who is on another level, is playing there will never be a real challenge between us.
“We share space in the national team, we have a good relationship.”
