Chelsea now linked again with transfer target that caused mass drama last summer | OneFootball

Chelsea are now again being linked with a transfer target that got tongues wagging and debates raging last summer.

I remember it well. Chelsea fans were desperate for the club to sign a new goalkeeper, and they were heavily linked with Mike Maignan from AC Milan. He would have been available very cheap because his contract was running down, and he is largely considered as one of the best goalkeepers around right now. He would certainly come with a lot of experience and leadership, at the very least.

EXCLUSIVE! Xabi Alonso not making any major demands but emphasising importance of defence, talks progressing well – Chelsea throwing everything at it!

Many Chelsea fans were behind the move and got quite excited for it. But as Chelsea often do under this ownership, they fumbled the deal and backed out of it for whatever reason, probably the sake of a few million here or there.

It left many Chelsea fans really annoyed, and caused a lot of drama. Well Chelsea fans, want that same saga all over again? No, me neither!

Just five months on from signing his new contract with Milan, Mike Maignan is back being linked with Chelsea again.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Chelsea have not given up on their hopes of securing the France international and are ready to give it another go this summer.

Here we go again!?
