AC Milan fans don't mess about when letting a player know what they think of them.
That was certainly the case in the San Siro on Wednesday night, when some of them unfurled a huge banner taking aim at goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 18-year-old, who has been a regular starter for the club for much of the last couple of years, had been the subject of transfer rumours last summer before eventually inking a new contract in July.
However, it was alleged this week that Donnarumma had instructed his agent Mino Raiola to cancel his deal with the club. Other reports in Italy claim he's looking to activate a clause which would enable him to leave on a free after feeling 'psychologically pressured' into signing the contract. These reports haven't gone down well with some of the Milan supporters.

Their banner, which was seen during the club's 3-0 victory over Verona, criticised Donnarumma and his brother Antonio, who was recently re-signed by Milan.
The banner read: 'Psychological violence by giving you €6million-a-season & signing your parasite brother? It's time to leave... our patience with you is over!'
Donnarumma was reduced to tears by this message and was later seen being consoled by teammate, Leonardo Bonucci.

'It was a bad evening, one I did not expect,' Donnarumma responded on Instagram, denying some of the claims made in recent reports.
'I've never said or written that I suffered moral violence when I signed the contract. Despite everything, I look forward with my head focused on the next game. Forza Milan!'
