Reports are growing in England that Chelsea want to swap Kepa Arrizabalaga for Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has not even discussed a new contract.
The shot-stopper is only tied down to San Siro until June 2021 and agent Mino Raiola confirmed this month that no real talks have yet taken place to agree an extension.
That is because the focus had first been on securing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to a new deal, which was agreed this weekend and should be signed on Monday.
Reports are growing in England that Chelsea want to swap Kepa Arrizabalaga for Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has not even discussed a new contract.
The shot-stopper is only tied down to San Siro until June 2021 and agent Mino Raiola confirmed this month that no real talks have yet taken place to agree an extension.
That is because the focus had first been on securing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to a new deal, which was agreed this weekend and should be signed on Monday.
After that, the Rossoneri can turn their focus towards ensuring Donnarumma won’t be able to leave as a free agent next year.
Football Insider started the report that Chelsea were in negotiations for Donnarumma, offering Kepa plus cash in exchange for the 21-year-old.
Kepa turns 26 in October and was purchased for a massive €80m fee from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2018, but was recently dropped due to a series of errors.
His transfer value also plummeted, meaning Donnarumma is worth more in the current scenario.
There is currently absolutely nothing about any Donnarumma link with Chelsea in the Italian media, so this is a story that has come entirely out of England.
