Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing 30-year-old French international Mike Maignan from AC Milan.
Mike Maignan will be out of contract at the end of the season, and he has been linked with Chelsea as well. According to a report from Italian outlet Milan Live, Bayern Munich are now leading the race to secure his signature. It will be interesting to see if they manage to convince the 30-year-old to join the club.
The Bavarian giants already have Manuel Neuer at their disposal. The 30-year-old goalkeeper will look to join a club where he will play regularly. However, the Bundesliga champions view the experienced goalkeeper as a long-term successor to their captain..
Meanwhile, the player has been heavily linked with Chelsea in recent months. The Blues wanted to sign the player during the summer transfer window. However, they were not able to get the deal done. The West Londoners are still interested in the French international, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done in the coming months.
Maignan would improve Chelsea
Maignan is certainly one of the best players in his position, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Chelsea. They are in desperate need of a quality goalkeeper. Robert Sanchez has not been able to live up to the expectations since joining the club. Chelsea must look to replace him in the coming months.
Signing a world-class goalkeeper could make a huge difference for them. The French international could prove to be a defining acquisition for them. He knows what it takes to play for big clubs and fight for major trophies.
The Frenchman is a key player for his club and country. He has the ability to succeed in the Premier League as well. The opportunity to move to England at this stage of his career will be quite exciting for the player. He will look to prove himself at the highest level.
It remains to be seen where he ends up. Both clubs are among the biggest in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies. It will be interesting to see what he decides in the coming weeks.
