According to sources, Chelsea could make a surprise approach to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan this summer, with the club apparently initiating talks with the stopper ahead of the upcoming Premier League season to improve Enzo Maresca’s goalkeeping ranks.
The Blues qualified for the Champions League on the final day of the season after defeating 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 informed of a breakdown in contract talks.
According to Fabrizio Romano’s post on X (previously Twitter), Chelsea has made an approach to recruit Maignan as their next goalkeeper.
The Frenchman has yet to sign a new deal at the San Siro, prompting the Blues to be ‘alert’ of his status as they seek to strengthen their goalkeeping roster.
The AC Milan player has long been ‘high’ on Chelsea’s radar, and the club is now in talks – but Milan will decide whether he plays in Lombardy or west London next season.
