Chelsea submit fresh bid worth €15m for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan | OneFootball

Chelsea have submitted a new bid worth up to €15 million for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues’ opening offer was rejected by the Serie A club, who reportedly value the 29-year-old at €30m.

Maignan only has a year left on his current contract at the San Siro, and Chelsea are unwilling to meet their high valuation.

He has been a regular for Milan since joining the club from Lille in 2021.

Maignan has made 163 appearances across all competitions for the Italian giants, keeping 59 clean sheets.

Milan endured a disappointing 2024-25 Serie A campaign, but the former Lille star still kept 13 clean sheets in 37 league appearances.

He has also been the first-choice goalkeeper for France since Hugo Lloris announced his retirement in January 2023, with 31 international caps to his name.

Chelsea have been looking to sign a dependable stopper this summer after Robert Sanchez’s struggles last season.

Sanchez kept ten clean sheets in 32 Premier League appearances this season, but made five errors leading to goals in the English top-flight.

Chelsea are admirers of Maignan, but they are not ready to meet Milan’s high valuation for the player.

They are looking to sign him before the Club World Cup and want an answer before the end of the first part of the transfer window.
