Chelsea have been handed a boost with Paris Saint Germain believed to be looking to sell Gianluigi Donnarumma according to reports.
The Blues have been busy this summer and have already made three signings in Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens.
Chelsea are also said to be making progress on their pursuit of Dutch duo Jorrel Hato and Xavi Simons, with negotiations for both deals thought to be advancing.
Chelsea handed Donnarumma transfer boost
Whilst the Blues have strengthened their attack, supporters would like to see the club sign a new goalkeeper to replace Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea had the opportunity earlier this summer to sign Mike Maignan, but they weren’t prepared to meet AC Milan’s asking price.
Sanchez did impress during the Club World Cup, and put in a brilliant performance against PSG in he final, and it seems he will start the season as number one.
However, Chelsea were linked with Donnarumma earlier this month, and they may have been handed a potential transfer boost.
Donnarumma is out of contract in 2026, and has failed to agree a new deal with the French giants, and in a major development L’Equipe have reported the Champions League winners are prepared to sell the 26-year-old this summer.
PSG are said to be closing in on the signing of Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier for a reported €40m, and he would likely be the replacement for Donnarumma.
Will Chelsea sign a new goalkeeper?
Whilst Donnarumma could become available, the Italy international’s wages could be an issue for Chelsea, and it’s unclear if he would take a pay cut.
Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers around, but it remains to be seen if the Blues will make a move, with Manchester United also reportedly interested.
As good as Sanchez’s recent form has been, if the opportunity is there to get a top class upgrade, Chelsea need to do everything they can to make it happen.
