Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Clubs like Manchester United and Manchester City have been mentioned as potential destinations, and Chelsea have been linked with Gianluigi Donnarumma as well.
However, a report from the Daily Telegraph has claimed that Chelsea have now ruled out a move for the 26-year-old PSG star. A move to Turkiye may be on the cards, with recent updates linking him with Galatasaray.
It is no secret that Chelsea need a quality goalkeeper, and Donnarumma is certainly one of the best in the world. He would have been an exceptional acquisition for them. The Blues are looking to bring in an upgrade on Robert Sanchez, and they have been linked with players like Mike Maignan.
As for Donnarumma, the 26-year-old Italian international would have improved them immensely. The former AC Milan stopper was outstanding for PSG last season, and he helped them win the league title and the UEFA Champions League with heroic performances in the tournament.
There is no doubt that he is good enough for Chelsea, and it is surprising that the Blues have decided to abandon their pursuit of the player. They have been unhappy with Sanchez’s displays, and he has been linked with an exit in recent months. They need to bring in an upgrade if they want to build a formidable squad capable of fighting for major trophies. It remains to be seen whether they decide to move on to other targets.
PSG already looking at an alternative
Meanwhile, PSG are reportedly closing in on signing LOSC Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. It suggests that they are preparing for the exit of the Italian goalkeeper. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Moving to the Premier League could be exciting for him. Chelsea are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them could have been ideal for the player. However, the Blues have now made their decision on a potential move for the PSG star, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.
The 26-year-old is a world-class player in his position, and he will look to join a club where he will be able to fight for major trophies. It remains to be seen whether he decides to consider a move to Manchester this summer.
Chelsea have recently won two trophies, and they will look to build on that and fight for major trophies next season. Signing a player with the quality and experience of Donnarumma would have been ideal.
