AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is one of the biggest young stars in goal in world soccer, and he appears to have a couple of suitors that would love to acquire his services this summer.

According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are keen on making a move for the Italian keeper this summer in order to upgrade their teams.

The newspaper reports that both PSG and Chelsea are open to the possibility of a swap deal that would send one of their top goalkeepers to the Serie A side with money in exchange for the 21-year-old. In the case of PSG, Alphonse Areola would be the likely player to be swapped, while Kepa Arrizabalaga could be sent from Chelsea to Milan.

Donnarumma, whose current market value is tabbed at around $54 million by Transfermarkt, made his debut with the AC Milan senior team at the age of 16 in 2015.

Since then, he has established himself both as his club team’s first-choice goalkeeper as well as a regular in then Italian national team. He has appeared in 16 games for the Azzurri since making his debut with the team in 2016.

Expect both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, if their finances allow them to do so, to attempt to make a move for the young keeper this summer.
