A tutor to Donnarumma

Between all this fuss about Gianluigi Donnarumma, one of the low-key goalkeeper stories about AC Milan went under the radar as Marco Storari has apparently signed an extension for another year with the Rossoneri.

At one point in time, Marco Storari was the first choice goalkeeper for Milan, thanks to an injury to then-first choice Christian Abbiati and the decline of Brazilian goalkeeper, Dida. However, he became the victim of injury himself and lost his place to Dida and was subsequently sold off to Juventus.

Once in Turin, as an understudy to Gianluigi Buffon, Storari won four back-to-back Serie A titles before heading to Cagliari and then back to Milan. Right now, he is the backup to a goalkeeper almost 22 years his junior – working as somewhat of a mentor for Donnarumma while the talented youngster picks up his skills.
