Chelsea will soon discuss signing 27-year-old goalkeeper Andre Onana during a meeting with Inter Milan, according to reports.

Well-respected journalist Matt Law has explained that Chelsea and Inter Milan will sit down for talks after this weekend’s Champions League final.

Apparently, the clubs will speak about Inter keeper Andre Onana, who’s been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge recently.

In addition, the sides will discuss the future of 30-year-old striker Romelu Lukaku, who’s currently on loan at Inter Milan from Chelsea.

“At the moment Inter Milan are demanding €60million for Onana. Chelsea have go a meeting with Inter Milan after the Champions League final, predominately regarding Lukaku, but Onana will be talked about in that,” Law said on the Last Word On Spurs YouTube channel.

Onana is a top goalkeeper playing a vital role this season for Inter, who take on Manchester City this Saturday in the Champions League final.

The shot-stopper has 19 clean sheets across all competitions this campaign, with eight coming in Europe.

He’s a very talented gloveman with a big presence in-between the sticks. Also, he’s confident playing out from the back like all the top modern keepers.

90min claimed last month that Chelsea would rather sign Onana than Brentford goalkeeper David Raya in their search this summer to find a new number one.

Kepa Arrizabalaga did enjoy a mini revival in the Chelsea goal this year by winning back his starting position from Edouard Mendy. We think the goalkeeper position still needs upgrading, though.
