Chelsea is interested in signing a new goalkeeper and has identified Maignan, who is 29 years old, as a top target. The transfer is reportedly happening because AC Milan failed to qualify for next season's Champions League.
According to sources, Maignan has informed AC Milan of his intention to leave and join Chelsea. The two clubs are in talks to agree on a transfer fee, but no deal has been finalised yet.
Chelsea believes that Maignan is a good value for money, with a price tag of £20-25 million. The deal is expected to be completed before the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
