However, as per revelations from football.london, AC Milan’s demands for Maignan’s transfer fee during the summer were deemed exorbitant, causing Chelsea to pivot in their pursuit. Instead, the Premier League giants opted to secure the services of Djorde Petrovic and Robert Sanchez, solidifying their goalkeeping options for the current season.

With a keen eye on the future, Chelsea is now contemplating the possibility of making a substantial investment in a goalkeeper of considerable stature in the coming 12 months. The pursuit of Maignan may have been momentarily stalled, but the quest for a top-tier shot stopper remains an integral part of Chelsea’s strategic game plan, as they seek to bolster their ranks and maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League and beyond.
