Chelsea contact AC Milan over Mike Maignan transfer as Enzo Maresca eyes new No.1 goalkeeper

<p>According to transfer expert <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1929847736750240225" target="_blank"><em>Fabrizio Romano</em></a>, Maignan has not yet committed to a contract extension at AC Milan, which has alerted Chelsea to the possibility of securing a deal. The Premier League side are closely <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-andre-onana-replacement-ruben-amorim-ac-milan-mike-maignan-competition-chelsea-aston-villa/bltecebbb287ea381bd" target="_blank">monitoring developments</a> and have reportedly already made contact with Milan over a potential transfer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Maignan has long been admired at Stamford Bridge and has featured prominently on Chelsea’s shortlist for some time. The decision, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/manic-transfer-window-incoming-ac-milan-ready-to-cash-in-three-stars-champions-league-qualification/blt4b37894ea704d621" target="_blank">now rests with the Rossoneri hierarchy</a>, who must choose between retaining their prized goalkeeper or cashing in while his market value remains high.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Bringing Maignan to Stamford Bridge could represent a win-win scenario for all involved. Chelsea would gain a world-class goalkeeper in his prime, while the French star would have the opportunity to take on a new challenge in the Premier League and compete in the Champions League, after Milan missed out on qualification following their dismal eighth-place finish in Serie A.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Maresca is determined to assemble a side capable of challenging for silverware on multiple fronts. Robert Sanchez’s underwhelming performances between the posts last season have raised the alarm bells in west London. The club is eager to raise their standards to get back to the very top, especially with Champions League nights returning to Stamford Bridge from the 2025-26 season.</p>
