Gianluigi Donnarumma has been voted the best player of the recent European Championship by Transfermarkt users. Of the well over 100,000 votes cast, around 28.5% went to the Italian goalkeeper. With almost twice as many votes as his teammate Giorgio Chiellini in second place, Donnarumma won by a clear margin.
The 22-year-old, who has let his contract with AC Milan expire and is waiting to complete his move to Paris Saint-Germain, had conceded just four goals throughout the tournament – and saved two penalties in the final against England at Wembley Stadium. “He is the best goalkeeper in the world,” head coach Roberto Mancini said after the final win. “We are lucky to have Donnarumma.”
European champions Italy dominate the top 5 of the voting. Behind Donnarumma and defender Chiellini, forward Federico Chiesa and midfielder Jorginho follow in third and fourth place. Only in fifth place, Spaniard Pedri breaks the Italian dominance with 7% of all votes cast. Spain lost to Italy on penalties in the semi-finals.
