Chelsea are interested in signing AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, and they have been linked with him for several weeks.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Chelsea are ready to submit an improved offer for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan after failing to sign him before the FIFA Club World Cup began.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper is entering the final year of his contract, and he will be able to move on as a free agent next summer. Milan will not want to lose a world-class player like him for nothing. It would make sense for them to sell him for a reasonable amount of money now.
It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to accept the offer from Chelsea when it is presented. The Rossoneri value the French international at around £20 million, and the price tag makes him an affordable target.
Chelsea need a quality goalkeeper this summer, and signing the French international would be a wise decision. The 29-year-old is certainly one of the best in his position, and he could improve Chelsea immensely.
The Blues signed Robert Sanchez from Brighton & Hove Albion, but he has not been able to impress with his performances. The Spanish international has been quite error-prone, and Chelsea need an upgrade if they want to fight for major trophies.
The French international would be an upgrade on Sanchez, and he wants to join Chelsea. Signing a player of his quality for £20 million would represent a huge bargain as well. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can get the deal across the line.
Maignan would be a solid addition
Convincing the goalkeeper to join the club will not be difficult for Chelsea. The Blues are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they have secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the 2025/26 season.
Meanwhile, Maignan has won league titles in France and Italy. Chelsea will hope that he can guide them to a Premier League title in England as well if the transfer goes through. The West Londoners have not been at their best in recent times. They have not been able to fight for major trophies for a while.
However, Chelsea have now put together a very talented squad, and they have a quality manager as well. This is a golden opportunity for them to take advantage of the rebuilding at Manchester United, Tottenham, and Manchester City. They will look to compete with Liverpool and Arsenal for major trophies. Signing world-class players will certainly help them achieve their goals.
