If any club has been investing in goalkeepers Lately, it’s Chelsea. In recent years, the Blues have collected quite a few at Stamford Bridge, like if they were diamonds. However, none has fully convinced the management that he deserves to be the undisputed No. 1. The Blues concluded last season feeling they couldn’t entirely rely on either Robert Sanchez or Filip Jorgensen. And while Đorđe Petrović experienced a renaissance during his loan spell at Strasbourg, Chelsea is still in search of a top-class goalkeeper who can carry the team throughout the season. So far, the Blues have six registered keepers, and among them Sanchez, Jorgensen and Petrović were between the sticks in the last two seasons. But they obviously need the seventh. 🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea have held positive talks with Mike Maignan and are expected to place an offer. AC Milan could be forced to sell for £20m-£25m, maybe with some add ons.

The Blues are aware that the French goalkeeper has received a renewal offer from the Rossoneri, which would extend his contract until 2028 and increase his salary by one million euros over the current 3.5 million per year. However, Maignan is reportedly unsatisfied with the offer and wants to be paid on par with Rafael Leao—around 6.5 million euros annually. That’s where Chelsea sees its chance.It doesn’t get more humiliating than that – Chelsea will pay millions to get rid of Sancho!Maignan joined Milan in 2021 from Lille for 16.4 million and was, until this season, considered one of the team’s standout performers. However, during the 2024–25 campaign, he had an unusually inconsistent run, occasionally letting his team down with uncharacteristically poor performances. Still, he remains France’s first-choice goalkeeper, one of the most skilled on the continent, and someone for whom a proper replacement is hard to find. But if the deal goes on eventually, it is understood that Torino’s Milinkovic-Savic is currently being evaluated as a replacement.##NAJAVA_MECA_8963099##
