Chelsea have used their ongoing talks with AC Milan to enquire about the possibility of signing Mike Maignan, according to a report.
90min are reporting that Milan begun talks with Chelsea over signing Ruben Loftus-Cheek and negotiations are ongoing with a deal possible around the €20m mark, but he was not the only player discussed.
With the dialogues ongoing, Chelsea asked about Maignan given they are in the market for a new number one goalkeeper, and given that Maignan has established himself as the best in his position in Serie A.
Despite this, the Rossoneri responded with ‘fierce resistance’ because they are not at all keen on the idea of selling the 27-year-old Frenchman given his important to the team and his status as a leader.
Chelsea are thus looking at alternative targets, such as Inter’s Andre Onana, Porto’s Diogo Costa and Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili. Onana and Maignan are the two that the scouts believe are the best, however.
