Chelsea is eyeing a €45 million-rated French player, but encountering a substantial hurdle for the transfer, according to walexsports.com. AC Milan’s goalkeeper Mike Maignan continues to be linked with interest from Chelsea.
Acknowledged as one of the premier players worldwide in his position, Maignan presents a considerable upgrade over Robert Sanchez, but the financial constraints Chelsea faces due to fair play regulations pose a challenge. At 28, Stefano Pioli is excelling, yet after winning Serie A, Milan’s project seems to be deteriorating.
Maignan’s contract situation offers leverage as it runs until 2026, necessitating serious consideration of bids by Milan this summer.
There’s a possibility Chelsea might intensify efforts in pursuing the French goalkeeper in the coming months, particularly if their financial circumstances improve by then, potentially making the €45 million-rated goalkeeper a viable target, subject to their January dealings.
