5 potential top-level replacements for Courtois if he leaves Chelsea

#3 Gigi Donnarumma (AC Milan & Italy)

The golden boy of Italian football can be the new Cech for the Blues

Potential Fee: £70m

The golden boy of goalkeeping in Italian football, a lot is being expected of this gentle giant who is more than capable of stepping into Courtois’ shoes at Stamford Bridge (and bettering his achievements as well).

Agile, fast off his feet with a good command of his penalty area and the ability to make superlative saves look routine, “Gigio” definitely looks to be headed to the top of world football and his signing would be a coup of monumental proportions for Arsenal.

In Donnarumma, Chelsea will be getting a youngster (he turns 19 in February) who while already very good has the ability to become the greatest goalkeeper in the history of the Blues eclipsing even legends like Ed de Goey, Carlo Cudicini, Petr Cech and even Courtois himself.

The love-hate relationship with the Milan faithful seems to have reached his breaking point after a section of the crowd accused him of being a traitor to the cause, insults which caused him to break down in tears.

He will definitely not come cheap as reports have it that he will cost about £70m (a world record for a goalie) but given his youth and potential, it will be seen as a bargain in the next couple of decades
