‘I tried everything I could to persuade him to join PSG, but it appears His mind is made up already’: Kylian Mpappe confirmed His £120 million International Teammate has turned down the PSG offer to join CHELSEA in January
€45m The French player would be ideal for Chelsea, but he faces a big transfer hurdle – walexsports.com
Chelsea is still interested in AC Milan custodian Mike Maignan.
He is without a doubt one of the top players in the world at his position, and one of the most certain substantial upgrades over Robert Sanchez that is at all feasible.
But, let’s be honest, we’re already in financial problems, and the sum required to sign Maignan would be immense. Stefano Pioli’s project appears to be falling apart a little after winning Serie A. He’s 28 and just nearing his peak.
Maignan’s contract problem plays into our hands here. He only has till 2026 left on his contract, and Milan will have to start taking any proposals seriously by this summer.
According to FootMercato, Chelsea will be among the teams hot on the Frenchman’s tail by then, which would not surprise us. Depending on our January business, we may be in a better financial situation by the summer, and the €45m rated keeper may be within reach.
