Chelsea Cool on Donnarumma Talk as Club Backs Current Goalkeepers

Chelsea are not trying to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma. Right now, he is not a target. The club is happy with their current goalkeepers.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Recent news suggested Chelsea wanted Donnarumma, who has a year left at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, there are no ongoing talks regarding his transfer, and Chelsea trusts their current goalkeepers, Robert Sanchez, who is likely to be the starter, and Filip Jorgensen who joined from Villarreal last summer, and, at 23 years old, is seen as the future of the Blues’ goalkeeping. This comes as PSG might sell Donnarumma for less money because his extension talks are not going well.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Earlier reports said Chelsea and Manchester United wanted Donnarumma. But, those have been denied by Chelsea. United are looking for goalkeepers after recent problems. PSG’s situation has attracted attention because Donnarumma’s contract is ending. Chelsea want stability and are not looking for a significant goalkeeper change right now.

FORM AND TEAM CONTEXT

Donnarumma, 26, is in the last year of his PSG contract as his future is uncertain. Chelsea seem to trust their current goalkeepers and have spent their money on other parts of the squad. Meanwhile, Manchester United might try to get Donnarumma for less money to compete with André Onana after a tough year.

WHAT NEXT?

Chelsea start the Premier League season aiming for a top-four finish after a tough year. Their next match will test their goalkeepers. If PSG tries to sell Donnarumma, interested clubs like Manchester United or Serie A teams could make a move. But for now, Chelsea will stick with their current goalkeepers unless things change later on.
