The role of the goalkeeper cannot be underestimated in a football match. They are the last person to keep the goal from opposing players' attacks.
This is what makes the role of the goalkeeper so vital. A good goalkeeper can keep a team from conceding so that they have a big chance of winning the game.
Therefore, every club is competing to have the best quality goalkeeper. As a result, the price of quality goalkeepers in recent years has also soared.
Ahead of this year's summer transfer market, there are a number of goalkeepers whose futures are being questioned. They can change clubs next season.
Here are the top five goalkeepers who have the potential to move clubs in the summer of 2021.
Goalkeepers who have the Potential to Move Clubs in Summer
1. David de Gea
David de Gea is Manchester United's main goalkeeper. The Spanish goalkeeper has strengthened the Red Devils since 2011.

However, De Gea's future at Old Trafford is starting to doubt. He was widely rumored to be leaving Manchester United in the summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now starting to entrust Dean Henderson in the MU goal. This season De Gea has played 32 matches in all competitions.
2. Head to Arrizabalaga
Kepa Arrizabalaga was brought in by Chelsea from La Liga club Athletic Bilbao in the 2018-2019 season. The London club poured out 80 million euros in funds to get Kepa.
The transfer value of that size makes Kepa the most expensive goalkeeper in the world. However, Kepa's appearance at Stamford Bridge so far does not match the high price because he often makes mistakes.
Kepa is now out onto the Chelsea bench following the arrival of Edouard Mendy. He has reportedly wanted to leave the club in the summer and has been linked with a number of Spanish clubs.
3. Gianluigi Donnarumma
The future of AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has yet to find a bright spot. He has a great chance of leaving the San Siro this summer.
Donnarumma's contract with Milan will expire in June. However, until now the goalkeeper is still reluctant to sign a new contract with the Rossoneri.
Donnarumma is reportedly in demand by Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid. The 22-year-old player can be hooked up for free if he really leaves Milan.
4.Sergio Romero
Sergio Romero joined Manchester United in 2015. He spent most of his career with the Red Devils as a back-up to David de Gea.
Romero has made 61 appearances with 39 clean sheets and conceded just 27 goals in all competitions. However, he hasn't played even once this season.

Romero will leave Old Trafford in the transfer market next summer. His contract at the club will expire at the end of this season.
5. Jan Oblak
Jan Oblak joined Atletico Madrid from Benfica in 2014. He has built a reputation as one of Europe's top goalkeepers.
Oblak's performances have been able to captivate many top clubs so far. Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly very interested in the 28-year-old player.
Not long ago, Oblak admitted that he was very interested in playing in England. He could move to a Premier League club this summer.
