During the summer transfer window, Chelsea attempted to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, and the Frenchman is now again being linked to a move to Stamford Bridge.

Football.london understands that there is no conjecture that Chelsea has resumed communication with Mike Maignan’s representation in anticipation of a potential transfer.
Although the Blues greatly admire the French goalkeeper and attempted to get him to Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window, it is believed that new rumors about the west Londoners making a fresh offer for him are unfounded. According to reports from outside, Chelsea has resumed negotiations with Maignan’s team, and the goalie has made it obvious that he will not be extending his contract at AC Milan, which expires at the end of the current campaign. However, football.london is aware that this is untrue.
Maignan had about a year left on his San Siro contract back in the summer, and Chelsea believed they could sign him at a reduced cost. However, Milan insisted that they would not accept anything less than £25 million, and as a result, the Blues withdrew from talks.
Before their Champions League match against Chelsea, the Barcelona team bus was “ambushed,” leaving the players “shaken.”
Enzo Maresca must wait anxiously before Arsenal as Chelsea experiences yet another injury worry.
Chelsea has no plans to add a new goalkeeper during the January transfer window, according to a story published last month by football.london. With Robert Sanchez performing better than ever since joining in 2023, the Blues are more than satisfied with their alternatives in that role.
Because Sanchez is without a doubt the best player in west London, Filip Jorgensen is having some issues. Jorgensen has been Sanchez’s backup since joining the team in the summer of 2024, and it is said that he is yearning for more consistent playing time this season.
“ak with Filip.”
