Chelsea are not planning to revisit a deal to sign Mike Maignan from AC Milan later in the transfer window.
The West Londoners held talks with AC Milan over the transfer of the France goalkeeper earlier this month, but failed to find an agreement on a fee.

Chelsea had hoped to sign Maignan in time for the FIFA Club World Cup but were expected to resume negotiations again after the tournament.
However, Enzo Maresca looks likely to continue with his current options. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea ‘maintain their confidence’ in Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen and Mike Penders as their options for the season and currently have no plans to resume talks for Maignan.
Maignan’s contract at AC Milan expires next summer and the Italian side run the risk of losing the goalkeeper on a free transfer in 2026.
The Rossoneri had demanded a fee of around £21m for the 29-year-old, with Chelsea’s offer in the region of £12.9m falling significantly short of their price tag.
