Chelsea board working their magic and ‘have made contact’ but will fans welcome big Italian signing?
Chelsea are pushing to complete a transfer deal for AC Milan star Gianluigi Donarumma, and have made contact about a possible deal, But would fans welcome the man?
It was no secret over the course of the summer transfer window that Chelsea were very interested in trying to secure a transfer deal for the big Italian before they opted to complete a deal for Edouard Mendy.
But Chelsea’s interest has remained in the Italian this season, especially as there is constant speculation about his future at the Italian giants, and the fact that he has not agreed a new contract to extend his stay beyond the current season.
Despite his tender years, the 21-year-old has been the club’s first choice between the sticks for some time, and looks set to fill the role of the Italian national team’s long-term successor to Gianluigi Buffon.
And According to respected Chelsea blogger Simon Phillips, the Blues have made contact with Donnarumma whose contract is set to expire this summer.
The reports also suggest Chelsea are hoping to persuade the 21-year-old to join, but will face stiff competition from a host of top clubs across Europe.
Mendy has been brilliant this season, but Chelsea need to add something special to the stopper area, and considering Donnarumma is tipped to become one of the very best stoppers in world football, he is certainly a player that would be a massive signing for the Chelsea board.
So the fact that the transfer window is now open and the fact that he has not agreed a new contract with the Italian giants means that there is a real chance that Chelsea would be able to get a deal done.
And the biggest news of the day, HE COULD ARRIVE ON A FREE!!! Now that would be some great business from the Chelsea board wouldn’t it?
