The star in question here is Mile Svilar who currently plays for AS Roma. He has been their first-choice keeper since last season. This season, the Serbian has played 42 games and has managed to keep 14 clean sheets. He has made an impressive amount of 116 saves.
Svilar has played a major role for Roma this season. His performances have not gone unnoticed as he has interest from multiple top clubs. Firstly, he has attracted Man City who are planning to move-on from Ederson at the end of this season.
City are joined by German giants Bayern Munich in the race. Their first-choice keeper Manuel Neur is approaching the end of his career. Hence, they are keen to sign a high quality keeper to take on from the world-cup winner.

Roma are aware of the Serbian’s importance. They recently tried to hand him a new contract. Svilar currently earns €1 million per year but he wanted a pay-rise of €4 million per year. This resulted in the talks for new contract stall.
Chelsea desperately need to upgrade their keeper position next season if they want to compete for major titles. Robert Sanchez has not been able to stay decent and has so far costed the Blues many points. They also have Filip Jorgensen but he still lacks experience.
