Chelsea’s plan to sign AC Milan teenage shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma has suffered a major setback after PSG joined the chase for the Italian.
The Blues have been forced to look for a new goalie after Real Madrid refuse to rule out a move for Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian is also stalling on signing a new deal at Stamford Bridge with reports earlier in the week claiming that Madrid have asked him to delay signing the new Blues deal.
The Blues have identified a couple of goalkeepers who they believe can replace the Belgian and Donnarumma tops the list. They had initially wanted to sign Jan Oblak from Atleti, but they have decided to go for the younger Donnarumma.
Sun Sport is reporting that the Blues would now have to fight off PSG if they hope to sign the goalie as the French giants have joined his chase. PSG are looking to sign a superstar goalie next summer as they look to continue building a team capable of winning the Champions League.
Donnarumma has had a turbulent time this year despite signing a new deal at the San Siro, it is believed that he would leave them after this season if they fail to qualify for the Champions League again.
