The Blues are facing tough competition from North London duo Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur as well as Serie A giants Juventus for the signature of the highly-rated AC Milan shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Donnarumma looks set for a San Siro exit in the summer window now underway and the Italy international has courted attention from some of the biggest clubs across Europe, according to reports from the Express.
Milan are resigned to losing out on their star first-teamer and have already brought in a replacement for the contract rebel in the former Lille No.1 Mike Maignan.
Chelsea have been long interested in signing the young goalkeeper but many would be confused over Thomas Tuchel prioritising a move for Donnarumma despite having the figure of Edouard Mendy between the sticks.
Mendy was instrumental for the Blues in his first season at the Bridge and played a pivotal role in Tuchel’s men clinching Champions League glory what that narrow win over Premier League foes Manchester City in Porto.
