Man Utd, Chelsea watching intently as keeper target handed deadline

Gianluigi Donnarumma TEAMtalk

AC Milan have given Gianluigi Donnarumma one month to decide his future, according to a report in Italy.

The Italy goalkeeper is out of contract in Milan in June and the Rossoneri are reportedly getting itchy feet. And now, according to Tuttosport Milan have imposed a deadline of May 23 for the player to decide his future. Chelsea and Manchester United are understood to be interested in taking the player on a free transfer.

Manchester United are all set to overhaul their goalkeeping department this summer and will be looking for a competition for Dean Henderson and David de Gea.

De Gea though could move on after losing his place to Henderson. West Bromwich Albion’s Sam Johnstone has been linked with a return.

Chelsea meanwhile, are also believed to be on the hunt for a new No.1. Thomas Tuchel is not convinced by Eduoard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Italian source suggest agent Mino Raiola wants a new new deal worth more than €200,000 a week for his client. Milan have put €130,000 on the table and, as yet, there has been no compromise.

Milan have wanted the player to remain all along.
