After a season filled with ups and downs and winning the Conference League at the end, Chelsea have turned their attention to the summer transfer window.
The Blues have a clear goal in mind; bring in stability between the posts.
The London club struggled for consistency in the goalkeeper position last season.
While there were flashes of quality from Robert Sanchez and , the lack of a commanding presence at the back proved costly in key moments.
Now, with a Champions League campaign ahead and manager Enzo Maresca aiming to build from the back, the Blues know they cannot afford to take chances.
Chelsea have quietly been monitoring a high-profile Serie A star whose future has been uncertain.
The player has not agreed to a new contract with his current club, and talks over an extension appear to have gone cold.
That has opened the door for other clubs to make a move and Chelsea have stepped forward.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have now approached AC Milan regarding the possible signing of Mike Maignan.
The French international has always been near the top of Chelsea’s list, and the club are now officially in talks to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Maignan, who has been a standout performer in Italy and for France, has just one year left on his current deal.
Milan are yet to finalise new terms with him, and that delay could end up costing them.
Chelsea, aware of the situation, are pushing ahead to see if a deal can be struck.
The final decision lies with Milan. They value Maignan highly and know replacing him will not be easy.
But Chelsea are serious in their interest and ready to invest to secure a long-term solution in goal.
With discussions underway, this could become one of the headline moves of Chelsea’s summer rebuild.
