AC Milan chief Paolo Maldini has announced goalkeeper Gigi Donnarumma is leaving when his contract expires.

Donnarumma comes off contract at the end of next month.

“He was a protagonist, a leader and often a captain," Maldini told AC Milan's official Twitch channel.

“A professional must also be ready to change his shirt," Maldini continued. “It is increasingly difficult to start a career in one place and finish it there.

“We must thank those who gave so much for Milan and Gigio did it, without ever disrespecting the club. Our paths divide here and I can only wish him the best."
