With both Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga struggling to fully convince Chelsea managers this season, there is a high chance that a new goalkeeper will arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer.
Todd Boehly is likely to want to please Mauricio Pochettino as much as possible, and André Onana appeared to be top of the list once the Champions League final has been played, but Mike Maignan seems to have now overtaken him.
La Repubblica on Monday bring the news, relayed by FC Inter News, claiming that Chelsea ‘have made a €60m offer’ to AC Milan for the Frenchman, who has been widely praised for his performances at the Serie A club.
However, should the former Lille goalkeeper decide to snub the idea of a move to the Premier League side and renew with his current club, then the Blues are ‘ready to fall back’ on his Inter Milan counterpart, André Onana.
Were that to be the case, then the offer sent to Simone Inzaghi’s side would be ‘money and the loan of Kalidou Koulibaly’, with the replacement being Empoli’s Guglielmo Vicario.
We’ll wait and see for more confirmation about this reported Chelsea bid for Maignan, but, if true, it shows how desperately Boehly wants a new man between the sticks at his club.
