Supporters of Everton have been reacting to a transfer link between the Toffees and AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma which has emerged.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited by Sport Witness, the Toffees and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the Italian stopper and he would cost around €20-25 million (£18.2-£22.8m) (via @TheGwladysStreet), which had some fans buzzing.

According to the report, the Goodison Park club may call on the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, who the club have had previous success with and that ‘there is a feeling’ the move could be on the cards.
During this season in the Serie A, Donnarumma has kept ten clean sheets in 24 appearances in the league, and conceded 30 goals (per Transfermarkt), however, some supporters felt that the move was just too good to be true.
Great keeper! Get him in!!!

What do we think?
While the Italian 21-year-old does only have a season remaining on his current contract following the conclusion of this one, the goalkeeper is valued at £49.5 million (per Transfermarkt), so, a maximum fee of £22.8 million seems way wide of the mark.
After a 6.84/10 average rating in the Serie A so far this season (per WhoScored), though, there seemed to be an agreement amongst fans that Donnarumma would be a superb acquisition if there is any truth in the supposed move.
