According to Football London, Chelsea will hold discussions with Inter Milan regarding the potential signing of 27-year-old goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Renowned journalist Matt Law has revealed that the clubs will talk after the Champions League final this weekend to explore the transfer possibilities. Onana has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in recent times.
The meeting will also involve deliberations on the future of 30-year-old striker Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Chelsea.
The Italian giants are said to be seeking €60 million for the former Ajax keeper’s transfer. The primary focus of the meeting is Lukaku, but Onana will also be a topic of discussion.

Onana is considered a key player for the team as they prepare to face Manchester City in the upcoming Champions League final.
Throughout this season, the Cameroonian player has kept 19 clean sheets across all competitions, including eight in European matches.
His commanding presence and ability to play from the back make him a highly talented goalkeeper, fitting the mold of modern keepers.
Chelsea prefers signing Onana over Brentford’s goalkeeper, David Raya, as they search for a new number one this summer.
While Kepa Arrizabalaga had a resurgence and reclaimed his starting position from Edouard Mendy, the Blues believes there is still room for improvement in the goalkeeper position.
