Chelsea approach AC Milan to sign French keeper
The star in question here is Mike Maignan. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have approached Milan to sign Maignan this summer. He has added that the Italian giants are finding it hard to tie Maignan with a new deal. Hence, they can opt to sell him in the summer window.
Maignan has been always rated highly by Chelsea. The Blues are aware of his contract situation and hence have initiated talks. Milan will now take the final decision. If the French keeper does join the Blues, it will be a very good signing.
