Chelsea’s Goalkeeper Hunt: Maignan and Others in the Mix

Chelsea FC is actively pursuing a new goalkeeper, with Mike Maignan from AC Milan emerging as a prime target. Reports from The Chelsea Chronicle and Football Italia suggest that the Blues are considering a move for the French international, who was once praised by Olivier Giroud as 'unbelievable'. Maignan's potential transfer fee is rumored to be around €33 million, a bargain considering his skills and experience.

However, Chelsea's interest doesn't stop with Maignan. TeamTalk and CaughtOffside have reported that the club is also eyeing another elite goalkeeper, available for a similarly attractive price of €40 million. This unnamed goalkeeper is said to be a classy addition, and Chelsea is ready to rival Aston Villa for his signature. The urgency in Chelsea's search for a new goalkeeper is driven by the need to bolster their squad, even if it means competing without the allure of Champions League football next season.
