Donnarumma claims he was hacked over Milan renewal post
After seemingly pledging to discuss a new AC Milan contract, Gianluigi Donnarumma has claimed his Instagram was hacked.
AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has claimed his Instagram account was hacked after seemingly pledging to discuss a new contract at the club.
The 18-year-old has a year remaining on his deal at San Siro and his agent Mino Raiola previously indicated that the Italian would not sign a renewal.
Donnarumma hit back at reports he could split from Raiola and stay at AC Milan on Sunday, posting "#Donnarumma #Raiola Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" on his Twitter account.
And the teenager then appeared to have clarified his comments, with a message posted on his Instagram suggesting he had opted to give Milan another chance in contract talks.
"Today my tweet sparked a real uproar, which I did not wish to create, so for that I apologise," read the message.
"I wish to reiterate my absolute love for Milan and its fans. Now all that's in my mind is the national team, with whom I hope to give a gift to all the supporters.
"My promise is that, as soon as the [U21] Euros are finished, I will meet the club along with my family and my agent to discuss my renewal."

"Hacking on my account," Donnarumma wrote on Twitter. "I'm closing social media."
Raiola - who represents clients including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli - also had his say on the ongoing drama involving Donnarumma.
He wrote on his Twitter account: "DONNARAIOLA x HATERS 1-0 What's next?"
