5 goalkeepers Chelsea could target to replace Thibaut Courtois

#4 Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan)

Gigio made his debut for the Rossoneri in 2015.

The AC Milan youngster is one of the most exciting young goalies around and has been often compared to Itlay and Juventus legend, Gianluigi Buffon.

Gigio made his debut for the Rossoneri in 2015, when he was just 16 years old and since then there has been no turning back. He has kept 27 clean sheets in 80 Serie A matches, which is an amazing feat considering how woeful the Milan defence has been in the recent past. According to WhoScored.com, last season, he had a save success rate of 77.2%, which was better than any other goalkeeper in Serie A.

At the young age of 18, Gigio has performed beyond his years and his overall game is complete, efficient, accurate and skilful.

With the Milan project still in its infancy and a Champions League berth still far from reality, the Italian could be tempted for a move. It is also believed that Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the youngster.

Although Gianluigi has already signed a new contract keeping him at the Italia club until 2021 and a release clause of 75 million euros could make negotiations difficult for Chelsea.

However, if the Blues still managed to sign him, they will be guaranteeing a long-term solution to their goalkeeping problem as Donnarumma is highly reliable and will only get better with age.
