Chelsea’s pursuit of AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan has hit a snag as the Italian club reportedly nears a contract extension with the French shot-stopper.
Maignan has impressed since joining AC Milan from Lille in 2021, establishing himself as a key player for the Rossoneri. His performances have caught the attention of Chelsea, who are seeking a reliable goalkeeper to fill the void potentially left by Edouard Mendy’s recent injury concerns.
Despite Mendy’s presence, the Blues have also expressed concerns over the long-term future of Robert Sánchez, who has stepped into the starting role during Mendy’s absence. While Sánchez has shown promise, Chelsea are reportedly considering other options to strengthen their goalkeeping position.
However, Chelsea’s hopes of landing Maignan appear to be fading as AC Milan reportedly close in on a contract extension that would keep the goalkeeper at the club until 2028. This development could leave Chelsea’s search for a new goalkeeper back to square one.
