Chelsea are desperate to sign goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from AC Milan.
Frank Lampard’s side recently signed Edouard Mendy to the team, but in their quest to win the Premier League, they have now turned to Donnarumma.
Chelsea blogger Simon Phillips claim that the Stamford Bridge side has contacted the Milan goalkeeper whose contract will lapse at the end of the season.
It was gathered that several top clubs are on the trail of the 21-year-old, but Chelsea are looking to persuade the Italian to come to the Premier League.
Juventus and Inter Milan are said to be chasing the impressive keeper, but his future will be determined by his negotiation with his present club.
AC Milan technical director and club legend Paolo Maldini said back in September that there is no rush to renew the shot-stopper’s contract.
The 52-year-old told Sky Sport Italia via SunSport: “He has played 220 games with Milan at his age, that’s absolutely uncommon.
The more he goes on, the more he becomes a leader. “He is a leader in training and with his behaviour. His growth has been truly exponential.
“We must try, it could happen in a week, ten days, 20 days, we are not in a hurry. “We are in this situation now, we know, so ten or 15 more days won’t change anything.”
