Chelsea are ready to put forward an offer for AC Milan shot-stopper Mike Maignan amidst interest from Real Madrid.
According to a report by Fichajes, Chelsea are keen on having Mike Maignan in their team starting next season and they are preparing an offer to sign the 28-year-old French goalkeeper. He has been a consistent performer for AC Milan and the Blues have made him their top target for the summer.
Maignan has done wonders for the Italian club since joining them in the summer of 2021. He has helped them win the Serie A title and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Chelsea’s interest in Maignan
His exceptional performances have resulted in a lot of interest. Clubs from across Europe would love to have him in their ranks and English giants Chelsea are one of them. The Blues have been monitoring the 28-year-old for a long while now.
While they did invest in Brighton’s Robert Sanchez last summer, the London club are still pushing for the services of Maignana. Sanchez has done a decent job in goal but the Blues are not satisfied with his performances. They are not sure about his being their number one in the long run.
As a result, they are looking to reinforce the position in the summer. Maignan is their priority target as they feel his arrival could help in a big way. He could help them return to their best next season.
Maignan linked with Real Madrid
Chelsea have been monitoring him for a while now and decided to go hard for his services. The Milan shot-stopper has been linked with Real Madrid amidst uncertainty around Andriy Lunin’s future and Thibaut Courtois’s struggle with injuries.
In order to avoid serious competition from the Spanish giants, the Blues are preparing an immediate offer for the 28-year-old. Despite their efforts, Chelsea might fail to land him at their club as Milan are looking to extend Maignan’s stay. The French international is close to committing his long-term future to the Italian giants.
