Chelsea plot sensational move for young goalkeeper

 

Chelsea are considering a move for AC Milan star Gianluigi Donnarumma as Frank Lampard looks to bring in a new goalkeeper, reports Football Insider. 

 

The Blues have been linked with a host of goalkeepers this summer as Lampard looks to secure a replacement for Kepa. 

 

The Spaniard has failed to live up to his hefty price tag after arriving from Athletic Club back in 2018. 

 

And while Chelsea have been linked with a move for Burnley star Nick Pope, the west London side could instead turn their attention to Donnarumma. 

 

AC Milan are keen to keep the 21-year-old in Italy, but Donnarumma has entered the final year of his contract and Chelsea believe they could prise him away from the Serie A side for £50m. 

 

Chelsea have sounded out a number of shotstoppers to succeed Kepa, with Dean Henderson and Andre Onana, along with Pope, linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. 

 

 

Donnarumma started all but two of AC Milan's 2019/20 Serie A matches, keeping 12 clean sheets in 36 appearances, the third best return in Italy's top tier.
