Chelsea see a window of the opportunity to sign an elite goalkeeper who knows that Milan may be reluctant to lose Maignan free of charge in 2026.
It was believed that Maignan in Milan would agree to new conditions at the beginning of the season, but her failure to qualify for Europe has questioned its future and burdened the association’s finances.
Chelsea’s plan has always been a summer review of her goalkeepers, and there was no urgency to look for a new shooting stop before the next season.
The blues planned to easily evaluate Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic and the highly rated Mike Penders during the World Cup.
But if a deal for Maignan appears, he would join the number one option and question the future of Sanchez.
Petrovic also hopes to be a first choice after being borrowed from Sister Club Strasburg and chosen her seasonal player in 2024/25.
His return to Chelsea comes with a salary increase, but it is also assumed that, as part of his New Deal, he has a publication clause that enables him to assume.
Penders is considered a Premier League Ready, but due to his age the 19-year-old was initially loaned.
Jorgensen will probably remain after the club has invested £ 35 million in it last summer.
Chelsea is also aware of James Trafford’s situation, although the rival of the Premier League Newcastle is still for the Burnley man.
