Chelsea was strongly linked to Mike Maignan from AC Milan in recent months.
However, the Blues did not sign the French international goalkeeper during the summer transfer window. They could relaunch a movement for the experienced goalkeeper.
According to a report via Roma Live, the Blues are now “confident to conclude the agreement” to sign the goalkeeper. They need more quality in this field on the ground.
Chelsea needs Mike Maignan
Robert Sanchez was disappointing and was criticized for his performance. Mike Maignan would be a major upgrade. He has been a key player in the club and the country in recent years. He has proven himself in France and Italy. He will seek to test his quality in England now.
There is no doubt that he has the quality of prospering in the Premier League. He could be a key player for Chelsea if they manage to conclude the agreement. Blues need players like him if they want to fight for major trophies. Having a world -class goalkeeper could make a big difference for them. It remains to be seen if Maignan can have an instant impact in the Premier League. He will soon be a free agent, and he could be available for a reasonable amount in January.
Maignan Move seems unlikely in January
The report does not mention if Chelsea is ready to take a step for him in January, or if they will wait for the summer transfer window to sign it on a free transfer. It remains to be seen how the situation is developing. Milan will not want to lose a key player like him in the middle of the season. A start in summer would be ideal for them.
