The 23-year-old Dutch goalkeeper has done quite well since joining the Premier League club, and Sunderland are expecting offers in excess of £50million for him in the summer. According to Football insiderLiverpool and Chelsea are enthusiastic about the player.
Roefs will be attracted to the idea of joining a top club, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool or Chelsea will pursue their interests with an official proposal. Liverpool already have two quality goalkeepers, and it would be quite surprising if they moved for the Sunderland star. They need to improve the other parts of the squad in the summer.
However, Chelsea need a reliable goalkeeper. Robert Sanchez has been receiving a lot of criticism since his arrival and they need to replace him. Signing the Sunderland star could be ideal for them. He has shown his quality in the Premier League with the black cats, and he could be tempted to take the next step in his career and join a bigger club.
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the country and they could provide him with the platform to compete in Europe and compete for trophies.
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to pay more than £50 million for him. It’s a lot of money for a goalkeeper. They have also been linked with AC Milan’s Mike Maignan.
It’s no secret that Chelsea need a quality goalkeeper, and it remains to be seen who they end up with. Signing a reliable goalkeeper should be one of their priorities ahead of the summer window.
