Lopez swaps Milan for Chelsea?

By Football Italia staff

Milan's Diego Lopez will reportedly join Chelsea on a three-year contract, once they sell Asmir Begovic.

The Spanish goalkeeper lost his place in the Rossoneri team to Gianluigi Donnarumma last season, as well as suffering with patellar tendonitis.

According to Sky, negotiations are underway with the English club, and are progressing well, with a preliminary agreement on a three-year contract.

Thibaut Courtois will remain the number one at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte, but it’s thought that Bosnian backup Begovic will leave.

If it goes through, the deal would save the Diavolo around €10m gross, as Lopez still has two years on his contract.
