In-depth look at Chelsea’s move for Milan’s Mike Maignan | OneFootball

Premier League side Chelsea are aiming to land Mike Maignan with Milan trying to make the deal possible.

According to a report by Daniele Longo, there have been a few changes in approach for Chelsea and Milan in the last few hours regarding the negotiation for Mike Maignan. The Blues are aware of Maignan’s contract situation with Milan as he has turned down to sign an extension. Enzo Maresca’s club are trying to exploit this circumstance and are offering €20 million as transfer fees for the goalkeeper.

The gap remains huge between Chelsea’s offer and Milan’s demands as the Rossoneri are asking for a figure around €30 million. However, the gap can be bridged with bonuses but Chelsea are playing the long game to force Milan’s hand.

Meanwhile, Massimiliano Allegri has asked his club management to keep Maignan as he attempts to convince the Frenchman to stay, using this impasse as an opportunity.
