Chelsea are set for a complete overhaul of their squad in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The Blues are all set to let go of a number of players in their squad as they look to finance numerous arrivals at the club.
While Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic were entrusted with keeping goal in the recently concluded season, both of them are set to be moved on from Stamford Bridge.
This means that Enzo Maresca’s team is set to have a new number one next season. To that end, the Blues have approached AC Milan to sign Mike Maignan as their new goalkeeper.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Mike Maignan has still not signed a new contract at the club, and Chelsea are now aware of the situation.
He’s always been high on Chelsea’s list with clubs in talks, decision up to Milan.
Why Maignan to Chelsea makes sense
Chelsea are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper who can be their number one in the long term going forward.
Maignan has developed a reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the world during his time at Milan.
He is known for his shot-stopping ability and his ability to play out from the back. Additionally, the Frenchman is also known to be a leader at the back and these are all qualities that Chelsea are seeking in their new goalkeeper.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Chelsea are long-term admirers of Maignan and have approached AC Milan to discuss a potential deal for the goalkeeper.
