Chelsea are in talks to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
The France international’s contract at the San Siro expires next summer and he is yet to commit to an extension, which has alerted Chelsea to the possibility of securing a deal.
There is a good chance a move to west London happens.
The 29-year-old’s potential arrival at Stamford Bridge mean yet another shake-up to the goalkeeper department.
Chelsea already have five goalkeepers on their books – Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic, Mike Penders and Kepa Arrizabalaga – but Maignan’s potential arrival would see him challenge for the No 1 jersey with the Blues.

He won Ligue 1 with Lille in 2021 before helping Milan to the Serie A title in 2022 and the Supercoppa Italiana in 2024.
Maignan has made 30 appearances for France and was named in the Euro 2024 team of the tournament.

Chelsea have decided to cancel the obligation to permanently sign Jadon Sancho and will have to pay Manchester United £5 million. Chelsea couldn’t reach an agreement with the winger on his personal terms.
Elsewhere, Chelsea will not exercise their £25m obligation to sign Jadon Sancho permanently this summer.
Instead, they will pay a £5m penalty to Manchester United to get out of the obligation.
Sancho will return to United at the end of June after being unable to agree personal terms to extend his stay at Chelsea.
The winger scored five times during a season-long loan at Stamford Bridge, including in last month’s Conference League final win over Real Betis.
He also contributed 10 assists across all competitions.
There is interest in Sancho from clubs across Europe, and Sancho has one year left on his lucrative United contract, which is believed to be worth up to £300,000 a week.

We take a look back at Jamie Gittens’ best goals in the 2024/2025 Bundesliga campaign.
Also, Chelsea are considering making a move again to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund.
The 20-year-old winger was a target in January and has remained high on a list of eight or nine attacking names Chelsea are working on this summer.
Gittens is valued at £50m but lost his place in Dortmund’s starting XI towards the end of the season.
Chelsea may also sign another striker after the deal for Liam Delap is complete. Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko are on their shortlist.
