Chelsea would prefer to sign Inter Milan’s Andre Onana over Brentford’s David Raya this summer, according to reports.
The Blues are receiving plenty of links in the transfer rumour mill to goalkeepers, including both Andre Onana and David Raya.
The Telegraph claimed earlier this month that Chelsea want to move into pole position to sign Inter’s £40million-rated keeper Onana.
Elsewhere, Sky Sports reported last week that Chelsea target Raya will cost around £40million to prise away from Brentford this summer.
Now, 90min claims that Chelsea would rather sign Onana in their hunt to bring a new goalkeeper to Stamford Bridge.
It is understood that the Blues could end up signing Raya if they miss out on Inter’s number one, though.
Both 27, there may not been a great deal too choose between the keepers above.
Inter’s shot-stopper does have the experience on the biggest stage, which includes playing in this season’s Champions League semi-finals against AC Milan. Incidentally, the Italian giants lock horns again tonight in the second leg.
But Brentford’s goalkeeper has operated at such a consistent level in the Premier League for the past two seasons.
If Chelsea sign Onana or Raya ahead of next season, we would be relatively pleased.
Chelsea’s change in goal feels like one that desperately needs to happen, which is why it’s very encouraging we are linked with some quality keepers with big potential.
Current Blues goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy both need a fresh start. They’re quality players with time on their side, but it feels best for all parties if they find new homes.
