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?

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

Age: 22

A cheaper option with a similar potential rating to Lafton, Luis Maximiano is a hidden gem with plenty to prove.

Age: 22

Club: Real Madrid
