Cold Reception for Donnarumma at San Siro

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma faced a frosty welcome during his return to San Siro, the home of his former club AC Milan. The Italian international was showered with fake bank notes by the Milan faithful.

"Mercenary" Money

The fake currency, called "Dollarumma," featured a portrait of Donnarumma with the caption "Mercenary." The fans have not forgiven the goalkeeper for leaving the club as a free agent two years ago and accuse him of prioritizing money over loyalty.

A Milan Legend Turned Villain

Donnarumma, who came up through the Milan academy, quickly became a club hero during his six-year stint at the club. However, his failure to agree on a new contract in 2021 and his desire to play in the Champions League led him to join PSG.

Chasing European Glory

Donnarumma's move to PSG coincided with Lionel Messi's departure from Barcelona to the Parisians. The Italian goalkeeper sought to challenge for Europe's highest honor and compete in the Champions League.
