Best Young Goalkeepers
Signing a young goalkeeper, between the ages of 20 and 23, could guarantee you a superstar for the next decade.
From MVPs to stars looking to flourish, you're certain to find your next number one on this list.
Gianluigi Donnarumma (CA 161 - PA 189)

Age: 22
Club: PSG
Value: £92 million
Wage: £215,000 a week
The MVP of Euro 2020, Donnarumma's stock has never been higher.
Recently swapping Milan for Paris, this Italian goalkeeper is already a sensation. Years away from hitting his prime, can you nurture Donnarumma into a world-beater?
Aaron Ramsdale (CA 142 - PA 158)

Age: 23
Club: Arsenal
Value: £70 million
Wage: £60,000 a week
Arsenal's new starting goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale is a rising star who could be on the cusp of a national team call up.
At only 23, Ramsdale has room to grow, which means that this former Sheffield United shot-stopper could go right to the very top in Football Manager 2022.
Justin Bijlow (CA 138 - PA 153)
![](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/40d185df71decc7e374edbe7d5cad47f841fab6b-1136x854.jpg?w=1136&h=854&auto=format)
Age: 23
Club: Feyenoord
Value: £28 million
Wage: £6,250 a week
Somewhat of a hidden gem, Justin Bijlow is a young goalkeeper with a high potential ceiling.
The flying Dutchman has been a sensation for Feyenoord but it's now looking likely that he'll seek a bigger move, will you swoop in and make Bijlow your number one?
Gregor Kobel (CA 137 - PA 150)
![](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/ff18a1591e3e5f8acebba0e2d686605f6e972ec4-1136x854.jpg?w=1136&h=854&auto=format)
Age: 23
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Value: £15 million
Wage: £33,000 a week
A Swiss shot-stopper with plenty to prove, Gregor Kobel could be an excellent addition for clubs at the lower end of the Premier League.
With Kobel more than ready to step into the first team, you're certain to see a profit as this 'keeper reaches his prime.
Alban Lafont (CA 135 - PA 160)
![](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/c8d203b459d49298fe13014516c4eaeb04efcc63-1136x854.jpg?w=1136&h=854&auto=format)
Age: 22
Club: FC Nantes
Value: £14 million
Wage: £16,750 a week
Alban Lafont is yet to reach the heights that his early potential promised when he broke into the Toulouse first team at a young age.
However, now arriving on a permanent in Nantes, this young French 'keeper could easily blossom, and we suggest you keep a close eye on his development.
Illan Meslier (CA 138 - PA 158)

Age: 21
Club: Leeds
Value: £24 million
Wage: £40,000 a week
Leeds' hotshot goalkeeper with bags of potential, Illan Meslier is one of the most exciting shot-stoppers in world football.
With a year of consistent first-team football under his belt, you need to push the boat out in order to secure Bielsa's French wonderkid.
Luis Maximiano (CA 128 - PA 154)
![](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/ef62d573512d17f458af7e31edd2607f1ff49bf1-1136x854.jpg?w=1136&h=854&auto=format)
Age: 22
Club: Granada
Value: £11 million
Wage: £9,000 a week
A cheaper option with a similar potential rating to Lafton, Luis Maximiano is a hidden gem with plenty to prove.
Recently arriving in Granada, you should be keeping an eye on this Portuguese 'keeper, as he could surprise many and flourish in La Liga.
Florian Muller (CA 131 - PA 150)
![](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/c4e69523af34c575b22560af8c7f594fbdb7b019-1136x854.jpg?w=1136&h=854&auto=format)
Age: 23
Club: Stuttgart
Value: £22 million
Wage: £5,250 a week
Germany has a great track record of producing top quality goalkeepers, and Florian Muller could be the next name on that list.
Currently playing for Stuttgart, this potential superstar could easily blossom into one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.
Andriy Lunin (CA 128 - PA 155)
![](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/38af80ea86d41214bb0fa0dc96f232ed37c283b8-1136x854.jpg?w=1136&h=854&auto=format)
Age: 22
Club: Real Madrid
Value: £13.5 million
Wage: £6,000 a week
Unlikely to break into the Real Madrid first team, Andriy Lunin could be the perfect option for clubs looking to replace an ageing 'keeper.
He may be inexperienced, but this Ukrainian youngster could easily develop into a steady and consistent shot-stopper for your team in Football Manager 2022.
Robert Sanchez (CA 134 - PA 130 - 160)
![](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/16a0c4a3dddfd8791f7527044123a01a7a2d186c-1136x854.jpg?w=1136&h=854&auto=format)
Age: 23
Club: Brighton
Value: £22 million
Wage: £20,000 a week
Brighton's new starting 'keeper, Graham Potter has certainly bought into the class of Robert Sanchez.
