AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan will become a free agent at the end of 2025/26 and it is expected that it will be moving in the summer, with an interest of the Premier League who is already brewing in the services of the French International.
Manchester United is considered enthusiastic about him, while Chelsea’s wish to sign him is also no secret. The blues had agreed personal conditions with him before the World Cup Club, but could not find a common basis on his transfer costs with Milan.
TBR Football has reported That Chelsea is now ‘convinced that they will surpass the man United to sign Maignan next summer because of an agreement with him on his contract, which has been in force since earlier this year.
Maignan has had a successful enchantment at AC Milan, where he has developed into one of the world’s best keepers, and his experience will be vital for Chelsea, who will soon be more quality looking.
Sanchez and Maignan offer a great team of depth
Although Chelsea gets the chance in January to sign Mike Maignan for a bargain, while AC Milan seems to prevent him from losing it on a free transfer, it is likely that they stay at Robert Sanchez for the rest of the campaign.
Sanchez was brilliant during the club World Cup and did well in the early days of the 2025/26 campaign. However, his capacities with the ball at his feet are not the best, so the acquisition of Maignan at the end of the season will still be a welcome movement.
The Frenchman, together with Sanchez, will offer Chelsea a brilliant team depth in Doel, while in recent years they have seen how busy the calendar of luminaires has been, the duo could also rotate among themselves and have regular playing time.
With Maignan who turns 31 next summer, it will be interesting to see how many years of Chelsea is willing to offer his contract, given the larger part of their signing sessions in recent months have been younger players for very long deals.
