Chelsea have sought information about Gianluigi Donnarumma | OneFootball

Chelsea have enquired about Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, per reports in France.

Manchester United are after him, but “Chelsea has also sought information.”

The Blues want to complete their squad by adding a reliable goalkeeper.

Robert Sanchez may have delivered a heroic performance in the FIFA Club World Cup final, but the Stamford Bridge hierarchy is not getting carried away.

Chelsea tried to sign Mike Maignan from AC Milan immediately the window opened.

Unfortunately for the West Londoners, their offer was insufficient to convince the Serie A side to let their new captain leave.

The UEFA Europa Conference League champions are now tracking Donnarumma, whose future beyond this summer is uncertain.

PSG head coach Luis Enrique believes the former Milan star is ‘very intelligent’ and ‘one of the best goalkeepers in the world’.

The Italian international, entering the final year of his contract at PSG, is considering an exit even though a new deal is on the table.

The French media have been linking him with a move to Chelsea.

However, it remains unclear if Chelsea will pursue a move for the 26-year-old shot-stopper.

He is already on massive wages in France, and Chelsea’s new model does not allow them to sign such players.

Chelsea baulked at Victor Osimhen’s demands last summer and have backed away from several deals because of the wages involved.

Donnarumma doesn’t fit into the Chelsea wage structure.

Also, Chelsea have a young, promising goalkeeper like Mike Penders waiting in the wings, ready to take the mantle.

Signing a relatively young shot-stopper a la Donnarumma only blocks his path.

The Blues need a stop-gap option that can hold his own while Penders develops in France and comes back ready to take the starting berth.
