Real Madrid and Chelsea have been linked with a future move for AC Milan goalkeeping sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma as the Rossoneri look to tie him down to a long term deal.
The 17-year-old goalkeeper has surprised everyone by becoming AC Milan’s first choice custodian since last season, and also made his debut for Italy last week.
The youngster is being termed as the next big hope of Italian goalkeeping, and is already attracting heavy interest from clubs across Europe with his prodigious talent.
With a little less than two years left on his contract with the club, it has been claimed that AC Milan officials are eager for their new Chinese owners to take care of Donnarumma’s future with a new long term deal.
But according to Gazzetta dello Sport, he attracted the prying eyes of Real Madrid and Chelsea earlier this summer.

Zinedine Zidane wants his son Luca Zidane to hold on to the goalkeeper’s post for Real Madrid Castilla, but it has been suggested that president Florentino Perez has his eyes on Donnarumma.
Chelsea also thought about getting their hands on Donnarumma earlier in the summer when Thibaut Courtois’ future at the club came under the scanner for a while.
Both clubs are expected to keep a close watch on the 17-year-old’s progress at AC Milan, and could make a move for him at some point in the near future.
