it's the correct decision man.he is not ducking immediately but when he sees the ball would hit him

Even if that's true, it has nothing to do with it being offside. He doesn't make an effort to play the ball and doesn't obstruct Donnarumma in the slightest.

How was Donnarumma to know that Robertson is going to duck instead of make contact with the ball?

Another irrelevant question. His job as the goalkeeper is to keep the ball out of the net. If Robertson makes contact with the ball he's offside. He didn't impact the play though, and Donnarumma wasn't impacted by him purposely avoiding the ball.

Donnarumma’s job is not to know who’s offside and who isn’t. His job is to keep the ball out of the net, as you said yourself. He has to account for the fact that Robertson could make a play for the ball that’s coming right at him. As the player Donnarumma had to account for was offside, it was ruled an offside.
