Chelsea eye Donnarumma as an alternative to Alisson

Chelsea will reportedly target AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma if they cannot sign Alisson from Roma this summer.

Thibaut Courtois’ future at Stamford Bridge is said to be in doubt, with Real Madrid keen to recruit the Belgian international to replace Keylor Navas ahead of next season.

This would mean that Chelsea will be forced into the acquisition of a new goalkeeper, with Alisson understood to be the club’s prime target.

According to claims from Italian news outlet Corriere dello Sport, as cited by Calciomercato, though, Roma have turned down Chelsea’s initial proposal worth €60 million for the goalkeeper.

This has reportedly led Chelsea to make contingency plans in case they are priced out of a move for Alisson, with AC Milan’s promising goalkeeper Donnarumma the man in question.

It’s claimed by Italian sources that Donnarumma is likely to cost Chelsea a similar figure to what was rejected by Roma for Alisson, as the Blues look to plan for Courtois’ apparent departure.
