The Italian press assure that Real Madrid intend to sign Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian's contract ends in June 2021, and for now, doesn't want to renew it.

On his own merits, Donnarumma has become a goalkeeper to watch for the future. At just 20 years old, the player formed in the Milan youth teams has caught the attention of several big European clubs.

He has played 23 matches this season and although he lets in an average of 1.4 goals per match, according to stats from ProFootballDB, BeSoccer's data centre, he has become a world-class goalkeeper.

This time, the club that intends to sign him is Real Madrid, who could get him in June 2021 when his contract runs out, according to the Italian press.

However, the arrival of the keeper to Los Blancos seems complicated, as Thibault Courtois has secured the number 1 spot at the Santiago Bernabeú and has recovered the level he showed during his spell at Atlético Madrid.

Alphonse Areola is on loan at the club and it seems that he will return to PSG at the end of the season when his loan expires.

Madrid want to opt for Andriy Lunin, who is currently on loan at Real Oviedo, and if all goes well, he will return to Real Madrid in June.
