​Chelsea prefer AC Milan whizkid Donnarumma as Courtois replacement

Corriere dello Sport in Italy suggest that Chelsea are on the hunt for a goalkeeper should Thibaut Courtois move to Real Madrid in the summer.

While Courtois is regarded as one of the top keepers in the world, he is not agreeing to a new deal at Chelsea, and he has hinted that he wants to return to Madrid where his family currently live.

Now he could get his wish in the summer. And the Italian paper claims that Chelsea will turn to Gianluigi Donnarumma as a replacement.

Donnarumma has a contract saga of his own, and a major bid would surely be enough to convince Milan to sell. His agent Mino Raiola is known for his ability to engineer big moves for his clients.
