AC Milan star Mike Maignan is set to make a decision about joining Chelsea this January window, as it has been claimed that the big man is about to sign a new contract with the Italian giants.
CHELSEA are always one of the biggest spenders in most transfer windows and there has been alot more rumours in the media that the club are still looking to add a new stropper to the squad before the close of the window this month.
Much-maligned current No.1 Robert Sanchez has seen his stock rise over the last year or so, but the position is still widely viewed as a weak point that needs to be strengthened, while Filip Jorgensen has reportedly asked for a move away from the club.
The Blues pushed hard to sign Maignan before the Club World Cup in the United States, seeing a lowball €15 million (£13m/$17.5m) offer rejected ahead of the tournament. It was reported at the time that the player was keen on the move, but Milan held firm and the west Londoners didn’t revisit their interest later in the summer
According to Fabrice Hawkins, the player is now in advanced negotiations to extend his stay at the club by another five years, although no final agreement has been reached as yet.
Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani recently denied claims that Maignan had tried to force his way out, saying: “There was interest from an English club, it was not considered an interesting interest from the club’s point of view.
‘Mike was and is an important player for Milan, and his agent was also very correct. There was openness to this interest but at the same time there was an interest on their part, not a forcing or a push, to stay at Milan. Then in the medium-long term future, those who live will see.”
