Chelsea will sign Serie A wiz kid if Thibaut Courtois switches to Real Madrid

Chelsea are reportedly targeting AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnaruma as Thibaut Courtois replacement if he decides to leave next summer for Real Madrid.

The shot stopper has been on the radar of the Los Blancos for several seasons now but rumors intensified after Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea reiterated his desire to stay at Old Trafford.

De Gea has been Real’s top target for goalkeeping options ahead of Courtois but the deal to land the Spanish number one has proven difficult for Zinedine Zidane and his top hierarchy, as the Red Devils may have convinced the shot stopper to stay.

However, with Courtois’ contract negotiations still stalling, Chelsea may be on the verge of losing the Belgium international to Real, with the attractive proposition of rejoining his wife and children in Madrid.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Donnaruma could be the next Chelsea goalkeeper after Courtois leaves, as Blues top brass consider him a long term alternative to Courtois.
