Chelsea could make a surprise move to land AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan this summer, according to reports - with the Blues reportedly opening talks to land the stopper ahead of the new Premier League season to improve Enzo Maresca's goalkeeping ranks.
The Blues have qualified for the Champions League, securing their place in the competition on the final day of the season after beating Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in a huge clash, securing their place in the competition for the first time in three years - and now they could land 'one of the best in the world' after being notified of a breakdown in contract talks.
The report by Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter) states that Chelsea have made an approach to sign Maignan as their new goalkeeper.
The Frenchman still hasn't signed a new contract at the San Siro, and that has led the Blues to be 'aware' of his situation as they aim to bolster their goalkeeping ranks.
The AC Milan star has always been 'high' on Chelsea's shortlist, and now the club are in talks - but the decision is up to Milan whether he will be featuring in Lombardy or in west London next season.
