Significant gap in Chelsea’s Mike Maignan valuation revealed | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano revealed on Tuesday Chelsea’s interest in AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan (29). However, the Italian journalist has now revealed the significant gap in the valuation of the Frenchman.

It had been expected that Chelsea would not sign a goalkeeper this summer. Whilst Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen failed to completely convince over the course of the last season, the tendency was for Enzo Maresca to continue to evaluate the options already at his disposal. Djordje Petrovic, who has excelled whilst on loan at RC Strasbourg Alsace, was another goalkeeper expected to vie for a place, with the upcoming FIFA World Cup seen as a kind of trial period for the Serbian.

But the Blues have now opted to make a move for a big-name goalkeeper. With talks ongoing, there was optimism that a deal could be done. However, there is a serious obstacle to be overcome. Chelsea value the goalkeeper, who has just one year left on his deal at AC Milan, at just €10m. The Serie A side value him at €30m. Chelsea are keen not to allow negotiations to drag on and will only wait until Monday to get the deal done.
