Donnarumma
Donnarumma is living every young football fan's dream. Just imagine: being 18 years old, the starter goalkeeper for your boyhood club AC Milan (keep in mind that we are talking about such a legendary club), making €15,000/ month doing what you love, and being the fans' favorite. That is the dream!
However, he decides to reject a contract extension at his current club. Therefore, let's talk about the pros and cons of Donnarumma's decision to leave.

Pros
The Leap: If he decides to move on, Donnarumma would be taking a huge step to becoming a World Class player by joining an European giant. Real Madrid is the club that has expressed the most interest in signing the young goalkeeper, but other elite teams like Manchester United and FC juventus have also kept tabs on the young goalkeeper. In my opinion, he will most likely end up in Real Madrid; Keylor Navas and Kiko Casilla are both 30 years old, by signing Donnarumma they are securing a future World Class goalkeeper for the next 18 years, and the player would be joing a club where he could win many thropies and become one of the best. Secondly, FC Juventus' legend goal keeper Buffon will soon retire, if Donnarumma joins them, they will be securing a goalkeeper who soon would be the starter for their club and the Italian national team, and the player would become the "next buffon", being his idol, I'm sure he will take that into consideration.
Money: Besides moving on to a World Power football club in Europe, Donnarumma would also see a hefty increase in his salary. He currently earns approximately €15,000 per month, but it is rumored that the salaries that are being offered to him are between €150,000 to €200,000. That would make a difference in his pocket.
3.Fame: Lastly, by joing a tittle winning club, he will also become more famous as he wins more titles. And fame equals more sponsorship deals and opportunities. Besides, by playing in a big team he pretty much would secure a place as Italy National team's goalkeeper.
Cons
- Betrayal: I know that's a strong word, but that's how many people consider what Donnarumma have done. In the football world, it is not easy to become a professional athlete, even though it takes a lot of effort and hardwork, you also need the support of a club that will give you the opportunity to prove who you are, and that's what AC Milan is to Donnarumma, it's his childhood club who gave him an opportunity to become who he is, but if as soon as something better then he leaves, why would that make him? A traitor
2.Competition: Donnarumma is the first choice in a historic club like AC Milan, that's a magnificent accomplishment, but if he leaves, he won't have that reassurance of being the number one goalkeeper in the club. Clubs like Real Madrid and Juventus are places where there's a lot of competition between the squad, there's just too much talent and choices for the coaches. Hence, leaving your comfort zone at your club might turn into becoming a bench-warmer somewhere else.
3.Negative press: Many people believe that the reason of his contract refusal has to do with him wanting more money. Who would want to be known as a sell out and traitor?
Conclusion
This is the biggest desicion of his life, we can only hope he can take into consideretion all the details and decide wisely.
