The 18-year-old goalkeeper expressed regret over his contract drama, saying it was not his intent to upset the club's supporters
Gianluigi Donnarumma has apologized to AC Milan supporters after signing a new contract with the club until 2021.
Having previously rejected a deal to extend beyond 2018, the 18-year-old performed a U-turn on Tuesday to commit his future to the club in an agreement that will reportedly pay him €6 million per year.
It marked the end of a dramatic saga in the transfer window, in which relations with his agent Mino Raiola and Milan soured as Donnarumma was linked with a host of Europe's top clubs, including Real Madrid and Juventus.
Milan celebrated the renewal on Wednesday with a media event, where they also presented his brother Antonio as a new signing, and Donnarumma took the opportunity to say sorry to fans who had been upset by a dramatic period.
"I'm delighted and proud to be at Milan," said the goalkeeper.
"I was born and raised at this club and I never had any doubts about staying in my mind.
"I'm sorry to the fans who felt betrayed, but I repeat that was not my intention.
"I'm sorry to them and thank them for their affection for these two years. I am proud to be here."
