At 2am on July 14, Chelsea will play PSG in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final. The English team is considered the underdog in this match. Last season, Chelsea was the champion of the Conference League, the third-tier European cup tournament.

Meanwhile, PSG won the Champions League, which is the number 1 tournament in Europe. The form and strength of the two teams are also very different. Therefore, in theory, it is clear that Chelsea cannot compare with PSG.

However, before this important final, the Stamford Bridge team has been the subject of a surprising transfer rumor. According to many sources from the famous French sports newspaper L'equipe, Chelsea is interested in buying goalkeeper Donnarumma from PSG.

The Italian goalkeeper has only one year left on his contract with PSG. Despite repeatedly stating that he wants to stay with the club, Donnarumma has yet to sit down at the official negotiating table. That is the opportunity for other teams to enter the fray.

Donnarumma is currently valued at 40 million euros. But Chelsea may have to pay at least 80 million euros to PSG if they want to sign this star. If that comes true, Donnarumma will become the most expensive goalkeeper in the world . The old record still belongs to Kepa Azzizabalaga, who was also bought by Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for 80 million euros.

Donnarumma arrived at PSG in 2021, after leading Italy to Euro 2020. He has made 160 appearances for the French team, winning numerous titles including the historic Champions League title in 2025.

Last season, Donnarumma impressed with his brilliant performance, helping PSG overcome many strong teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Inter Milan. He is facing a great opportunity to win the FIFA Club World Cup this year.

Previously, Chelsea's move for a star player from one of the world's top clubs might have been "fun" news. But with the liberal shopping style under president Todd Boehly, a deal to bring Donnarumma is not difficult to happen. Therefore, many Paris Saint-Germain fans have begun to worry about losing their number 1 goalkeeper.
