Chelsea have no interest in signing Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, despite growing speculation around the Italian goalkeepers future. Donnarumma is in the final year of his contract, and Softfootball understands that the Italian goalie is reluctant to extend his stay at PSG.
The Blues, however, appear content with Robert Sanchez, particularly after his impressive showing at the Club World Cup. Internally, the club continues to back Sanchez, but doubts remain following a season littered with costly errors and inconsistent distribution. Chelsea's previous attempt to lure Mike Maignan from AC Milan is seen as evidence that the door remains open for change between the posts.
In more concrete developments, Chelsea are preparing a new long-term deal for Marc Cucurella. The Spanish full-back, who was the club's most-used outfield player last season with 54 appearances, has firmly won over the coaching staff and is considered central to Enzo Maresca's tactical plans.
While reports recently linked Cucurella with a potential move to Al-Nassr, Chelsea sources insist there have been no talks, and the player is focused on staying. The club sees Cucurella as a long-term asset but is also aware of the physical toll his workload could take, especially with Champions League commitments returning this season.
Sports Journalist and Transfer Expert Farizio Romao reported that the blues want to offer the Spanish fullback a new deal and wrap up the signing of Jorrel Hato.
He wrote via his official X account :
With depth in midfield already covered through the likes of Caicedo, Palmer, and Fernandez, Chelsea's recruitment is now focused on plugging the few remaining gaps, and left-back is near the top of that list.
