#3 Gianluigi Donnarumma
Age: 18
Club: AC Milan
Position: Goalkeeper
Nationality: Italian
Gianluigi Buffon might be retiring at the end of the season, much to the woes of soccer fans. Yet, the supporters won't have to wait long for another elite shot-stopper, with another 'Gigi' ready to take his place.
He is an 18-year-old prodigy, but Gianluigi Donnarumma has a giant and intimidating stature. He made his professional debut in the game for AC Milan in a 2015 friendly against Real Madrid. On the international level, he debuted against France in September 2016, thereby becoming the youngest goalkeeper to play for Italy.
'Gigio' boasts a heavyweight for his age. But, that hasn't stopped him from being agile and having quick reflexes in goal. Also, he has become proficient at handling pressure at a tender age.
Donnarumma has attracted a host of big-shots following his stellar performances for the Rossoneri. AC Milan are on a road to resurgence as a top club. The Italian shot-stopper's presence in goal is of paramount importance in their quest for glory. Can they hold on to him?
