Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret is emerging as the ideal replacement for Gianluigi Donnarumma at Milan, with Franck Kessie potentially part of an exchange deal.

Donnarumma’s contract will expire in June 2021 and he is widely expected to leave at the end of the season.

Finding a replacement is the next step and Calciomercato.com claim that Meret is their first choice.

The 23-year-old made the move from Udinese for €22m plus bonuses, but struggled with injuries and was then dropped in favour of David Ospina.

The 23-year-old made the move from Udinese for €22m plus bonuses, but struggled with injuries and was then dropped in favour of David Ospina.

Meret is valued at €30m, so Milan would try to lower the cost of the operation by including a player.

Coach Gennaro Gattuso could be reunited with midfielder Franck Kessie as part of the deal, as he is not part of the Rossoneri’s plans.
