Daily Star is bs, just for the record. Anyway, expect a lot of suitors and expect a lot of money to be offered, because it appears some top teams (and Inter) are willing to pay well over market value for young talents (e.g. Martial, Coman, Kondogbia).
On whether he's sold or not really comes down to motivations of the club and player. If the club are building a project geared to success in the sporting field, then Donnarumma's simply not on the market for any price imo. If the club have focus on the financials, then he will be sold for the "right" price. It's obviously a bit more grey than that, such as if the club feels they can make a huge sum off him to reinvest, but ultimately finances are determining the sporting project at that point, which rarely results in great success. Unlike Luiz Adriano, who is also under discussion lately, I don't consider Donnarumma expendable personally, and imo he's actually integral to rebuilding the future of the side.
Also, player motivation is key, as if he's offered stupid money, then who knows he might push for a transfer (or at least agree). I generally believe the comments that he's a fan though, so I don't think it would take much convincing to make him stay.
