Chelsea set to go head-to-head with Champions League giant over goalkeeping position

According to reports, Chelsea could have an issue this summer transfer window, and AC Milan shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma has become a potential solution.

Contract running out

As reported by The Sun, there are huge doubts over the future of Thibaut Courtois at Chelsea, as he has yet to agree to a new deal with his current contract set to run out in under 18 months time.

In turn, if the Belgian does decide to leave the West London club, manager Antonio Conte will have a massive void to fill in his team as the Belgium international has been a vital figure for them since he returned from his loan spell with La Liga side Atletico Madrid back in 2014.

Massive Premier League feat

The Belgium international goalie has won two English Premier League titles in the last three seasons with Chelsea, and his goalkeeping as well as his defensive organization has been a vital part in that success.

Should the safe hand move on, the Sun suggest that Donnarumma tops the Blues’ shortlist to replace him, but AS now claim that French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain have also turned their focus to the Italy international goalkeeper.

It’s no real shock the young Italian is attracting a lot of attention, considering he’s played 108 matches for his Italian side at only 18 years of age, displaying great consistency and maturity all through his time in the starting eleven.
