Overview
- Multiple reports say Chelsea have re-established contact with Mike Maignan’s camp and are viewed as frontrunners ahead of Juventus and others.
- Maignan is in the final year of his AC Milan deal and has not agreed an extension, with a reported €5.5 million annual wage demand stalling talks.
- Transfer rules allow Maignan to agree a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January 1, and Chelsea are exploring that option.
- Chelsea are expected to create space in their goalkeeping group, with reports indicating Filip Jorgensen could be sold to facilitate an arrival.
- Inter are monitoring the situation as they plan for life after Yann Sommer, but reports indicate a switch across the city is unlikely and Milan intend to block it.
