Mike Maignan had a difficult 2024/25 season with AC Milan but despite his mixed performances, Chelsea are trying to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Gazzetta dello Sport today take a detailed look at the Frenchman’s situation. They believe that while the goalkeeper was close to signing a new deal at the San Siro, Milan ‘abruptly’ slowed down and this led to Maignan looking around for options.
The ex-Lille player didn’t like the Rossoneri’s actions, and now Chelsea have come forward to sign him.
The newspaper claim the Blues have put a fee of €25m on the table to sign the France international, who is inclined to give his approval to the summer transfer.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has already spoken to Maignan about the project at Stamford Bridge and this can be a key deciding factor in the move.
Milan haven’t completely given up on their star goalkeeper yet and new manager Massimiliano Allegri is expected to have a meeting with the player today. He will try to convince him to stay, but it remains to be seen if the 29-year-old has already made his choice.
