Chelsea reopen talks with Mike Maignan's agent over Premier League move

Chelsea have intensified contact with the entourage of Mike Maignan, with the Premier League club in dialogue with the French goalkeeper’s agent Jonathan Kebe over the feasibility of a move this summer. No formal offer has yet been submitted to AC Milan, though discussions are progressing. The development adds pressure on Milan, who are already navigating significant uncertainty across their squad.

Ruben Amorim considers Maignan a cornerstone of his project and has no desire to lose one of Europe’s finest goalkeepers. The Portuguese coach highlighted Maignan’s leadership, personality and technical quality as irreplaceable in the current market. Milan’s squad instability has intensified amid ongoing transfers and managerial changes.

Maignan’s desire for a new challenge could prove decisive as Chelsea circle. According to MilanNews24, the 28-year-old is understood to be genuinely open to a new professional challenge, with the Premier League representing a particularly appealing destination. His contract renewal was agreed under the previous regime of Allegri and Tare, both of whom have since departed.

Chelsea’s interest appears concrete and is expected to develop further in the coming weeks. The Premier League club’s pursuit sets up what could become one of the summer’s most significant goalkeeper negotiations. Milan have yet to respond formally to any potential approach.
