Sinisa Mihajlovic says there is no reason AC Milan star Gianluigi Donnarumma should have to say no if Real Madrid or Barcelona come in with a huge offer.

Everton have sacked manager Roberto Martinez following a poor end to the Premier League season, the club have confirmed.
Martinez took over from David Moyes at Goodison Park ahead of the 2013-14 season, leading Everton to a fifth-place finish and their best Premier League points haul in his maiden campaign.
However, Everton slipped to 11th last term and the pressure has been steadily mounting on the former Wigan Athletic boss following a poor run of form in the top flight.

Market: Roma win

Simply hoping to carry on from where they left off earlier in the summer, Roma will make the trip to the Stadio Marc Antonio Bentegodi on Saturday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Verona might have shocked many with their start to the 2019/2020 campaign, I Gialloblu drastically struggled to find their feet after returning from the enforced break. Signing off their pre-season preparations with a 1-0 defeat against Serie B outfit Cremonese on home soil last weekend, Ivan Jurić s men also ended last year s extended season with a dreadful display in a 3-0 drumming away at Genoa. Failing to mount any real kind of European charge, Verona managed to win just one of their final nine top-flight appearances, a run highlighted by a 5-1 de…
Samuel Umtiti has recovered from a knee injury in time to join Barcelona s squad for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Lyon.
Ernesto Valverde s men visit Groupama Stadium on Tuesday and will do so with France international Umtiti in tow after he was named in their 21-man travelling party.
The 25-year-old, who signed for the LaLiga champions from Lyon in 2016, rejoined training earlier this month but has not featured since the 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid on November 24.
Umtiti s availability is particularly timely with fellow centre-back Thomas Vermaelen ruled out due to a muscle problem in his right leg.
Welcome back to the squad
