Chelsea Football Club have initiated contact with AC Milan to explore signing French international goalkeeper Mike Maignan as a potential replacement for Robert Sánchez in the June 2025 transfer window. The 28-year-old’s unresolved contract situation at Milan, with no new deal agreed, has heightened Chelsea’s interest.
Maignan, a key figure for Milan, is renowned for his commanding presence, elite shot-stopping, and distribution, earning praise in Serie A and internationally. Chelsea, long-term admirers of the goalkeeper, view him as a reliable long-term solution despite having Robert Sánchez and Djordje Petrović in their squad.
While no agreement has been reached, Chelsea’s interest is serious, with initial discussions held between the clubs. AC Milan now face a critical decision: open formal negotiations or prioritize extending Maignan’s contract. Chelsea’s approach may push Milan to resolve the situation swiftly or brace for a potential high-profile transfer.
