Starting from Lille in the summer of 2021 to occupy the woods of AC Milan, Mike Maignan (29) has been able to have his place for now four seasons. The French international porter (28 CAPES) was excellent especially during the title won in Serie A during the 2021/2022 season.

If the current exercise has been more complicated, the one we nicknamed Magic Mike remains a European reference. While AC Milan intends to keep it while its contract ended in June 2026, discussions for its extension are in a standstill and this pushed Italian training to remain open to potential offers.

Chelsea launched the Mike Maignan file

The new Igli Tare sports director knows that he will have work in this file. And precisely, a first pretender presents itself. According to information from Fabrizio Romano and ReaderChelsea would target the former Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper. The first contacts would even have started.

The winners of the last Europa Conference League are looking for a reliable number one. If Robert Sanchez and Filip Jörgensen have been able to show beautiful things, this is not necessarily enough for the blues who see a boss in Mike Maignan to occupy this position where no one has been able to register for Petr Cech and Thibaut Courtois.
