Gianluigi Donnarumma Delays Exams After Being Named in Italy U-21 Euros Squad

AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has delayed his college exams by one month in order to play for Italy in the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Poland later this month. 

Per ESPN FC's Ben Gladwell, the 18-year-old has been named in Luigi Di Biagio's Azzurrini squad despite previous reports suggesting he would miss the tournament in order to do his exams in June.

The full squad was posted on the Italian national team's Twitter feed:

Donnarumma has three senior caps for Italy and has been Milan's No. 1 for the best part of the last two seasons—he played every minute of their 2016-17 Serie A campaign.

Having been included in the squad he will be a key player for Italy at the under-21 Euros, and he is likely to be the Azzurrini's first-choice stopper ahead of Udinese No. 2 Simone Scuffet and Alessio Cragno of Benevento, per Gladwell.

Donnarumma could have an eventful summer ahead of him off the pitch as his Milan future is far from certain.

He is one of the brightest young goalkeeping talents in Europe and has only a year left on his current deal at the San Siro.

Per The Sun's Mike McGrath, Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with the teenager. However, the Sky Blues are on the verge of signing goalkeeper Ederson from Benfica, according to the Manchester Evening News.

For now, though, Donnarumma will no doubt be focusing on the upcoming international tournament, in which Italy face Denmark, Germany and Czech Republic in Group C.
