AC Milan goalkeeper Gialuigi Donnarumma is reportedly edging towards a summer departure from the Serie A giants after eight years at the club, with Chelsea having a long-standing interest in the goalkeeper.

According to to reports in Italy, the Donnarumma said farewell to his teammates after the 2-0 win over Atalanta.

Tuttosport reports agent Mino Raiola was not satisfied by the Rossoneri’s offer of €8m a season and wanted €10m for the Italy international, who’s contract expires on June 30.

But the newspaper also highlights that he asked for a commission believed to be between €15m and €20m to sign the deal with the Diavolo.

Milan didn’t intend signing such a deal, as it meant they would be buying back the rights of a player who grew up in the youth team and developed into a starter at San Siro.

And MilanNews claims Donnarumma was already preparing to leave the club before the season was over, as he saluted his teammates after Milan secured a place in the Champions League next season.

The goalkeeper confessed he wouldn’t renew with Milan and the club has decided to sign LOSC Lille shot stopper Mike Maignan, who has carried out his medical this morning.

That is good news to Chelsea, who are rpeortedly keen to acquire the services of the Italy international.

While Edouard Mendy has mostly impressed in his debut season at Stamford Bridge, there do still remain question marks over whether he is a long-term solution to the problem position.

In fact, boss Thomas Tuchel has taken to alternating between Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga, with the latter starting the FA Cup final against Leicester.

Despite having two solid options though, it would be no surprise to see the Blues attempt to bring Donnarumma to the Premier League.
