Premier League club Chelsea is reportedly keen on acquiring AC Milan`s goalkeeper Mike Maignan, with the Italian side apparently willing to consider a potential transfer.
Recent information from journalist Daniele Longo suggests that the negotiation approach between Chelsea and Milan regarding Mike Maignan has seen some developments. The Blues are reportedly aware of Maignan`s contract situation at Milan, specifically that he has declined a renewal offer. Enzo Maresca`s team is looking to leverage this circumstance and has submitted a bid of €20 million for the shot-stopper.
A significant gap remains between Chelsea`s initial offer and Milan`s asking price, with the Rossoneri demanding a fee closer to €30 million. However, the difference could potentially be narrowed through performance-related add-ons. Chelsea appears to be employing a patient strategy, seemingly aiming to pressure Milan into lowering their demands.
Meanwhile, amidst this transfer uncertainty, it is reported that Massimiliano Allegri has requested his club`s management explore the possibility of keeping Maignan, attempting to persuade the French international to remain at Milan by utilizing the current impasse as an opportunity.
