This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) writes how Chelsea’s quest for a new starting goalkeeper has seen them cast their eyes on Milano, with Maignan and André Onana of Inter potential targets.
Maignan is universally recognised as one of the strongest goalkeepers in the world and is one of the leaders with Stefano Pioli’s squad, but with these big performances on the biggest stages comes the interest of many European clubs.
Giorgio Furlani, the Rossoneri CEO, would come to the negotiating table only if Chelsea put forward a bid of €80m in cash, or a cash some plus an interesting player or two in return.
However, in the meantime Milan have started talks to renew Maignan’s contract until 30 June 2028 but they are not in the decisive part of negotiations yet. The feeling is that the management are more concentrated on the transfer market.
Which counterparts could appeal? Milan are believed to have interest in both Carney Chukwuemeka and winger Christian Pulisic.
