Overview
- Chelsea have reopened discussions with Maignan’s representatives and could agree a pre-contract from January, according to multiple reports.
- Maignan has not signed a new deal with Milan, with his €5.5 million annual wage request widely reported as the main sticking point.
- Milan rejected Chelsea offers in the summer as below their valuation, and the goalkeeper is now approaching the final months of his contract.
- Inter are interested in upgrading in goal, but several outlets describe a Maignan switch to the Nerazzurri as unlikely and note Milan’s intent to block it.
- Chelsea are considering offloading Filip Jorgensen to clear space for a new No.1, while Juventus are also reported to be monitoring Maignan.
