# Chelsea set their sights on Donnarumma as Alisson alternative

Chelsea could reportedly turn their attention to AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer if they miss out on Alisson.

[Alfredo Pedulla reports](https://www.alfredopedulla.com/esclusiva-ce-anche-donnarumma-alisson-liverpool-spinge-courtois-chelsea/) that the young Italian shot-stopper has emerged as a transfer target for the Blues with Liverpool set to beat them to Alisson.

The Reds have agreed a fee with Roma over a deal to sign the Brazilian, but Chelsea had also earmarked him as a transfer target.

With Thibaut Courtois closing in on his long-awaited return to Spain, the Blues need to find a replacement for the Belgian.

Donnarumma has been linked with a move to London in the past and new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is said to be a fan of the player.

[Reports](https://readchelsea.com/2018/07/18/milan-need-to-sell-before-pursuing-morata-deal/) have also suggested that Milan need to sell this summer if they want to sanction any transfer business.

The Rossoneri are interested in a deal to sign Alvaro Morata, something Chelsea could utilise to boost their chances of bringing Donnarumma to Stamford Bridge.
