A few weeks ago, Mike Maignan's future seemed to be written in dotted lines on the side of AC Milan. Author of a season as disappointing as that of his club, the tricolor porter seemed to be inclined to change his horizon. The Italian press and its Spanish counterpart then mentioned a certain interest in the Chelsea FC for the native of Cayenne. But now this Sunday, the sound of bell is no longer the same.
In any case on the side of the English media since according to Sky SportsChelsea would simply not have made a formal offer to try to debum Mike Maignan at the Rossoneri. While Fabrizio Romano assured in early June that contacts existed, it would no longer be on the agenda. The Blues had the idea of offering about fifteen million euros for the tricolor international, far from the Milanese expectations.
It was about this amount that AC Milan had recruited Maignan in the summer of 2021, then paying a little more than sixteen million euros. According to the site Transfermarktthe French porter is now worth ten more (twenty-five million euros). Under contract with his Italian club until June 2026, Mike Maignan therefore remains in the unknown. Will an extension be offered to him this summer? Or will he decide to go to the end of his contract and then go free?
Chelsea closes the Mike Maignan file
It is too early to speculate on the subject. As for Chelsea, the idea of recruiting yet another goalkeeper is no longer really on the agenda according to the English media. Even if the management is not really satisfied with the yield of Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, it would no longer be a question of strengthening this position.
A choice not necessarily surprising since the blues currently have four contracts under contract, which will still be the case next season. Even if Chelsea recruits in turn and stacks players like bricks on a wall already too high, so he decided to close the Mike Maignan file. For the moment.
