Chelsea Make Bold €25m Move for AC Milan's Star Goalkeeper Mike Maignan

Chelsea Football Club has made a stunning €25m offer for AC Milan’s star goalkeeper, Mike Maignan, as transfer talks heat up, according to Transfer News Live on June 3, 2025. The 29-year-old French international, who captains both Milan and the France national team, has been a prime target for the Blues, with manager Enzo Maresca identifying him as the ideal fit for his tactical approach. Maignan’s contract with Milan expires in 2026, and with no extension agreed, Chelsea are seizing the opportunity.

Maignan, widely regarded as one of the world’s best goalkeepers, boasts an impressive record, including a Serie A title in 2022 with 17 clean sheets and a Ligue 1 title with Lille in 2021. His reflexes, distribution, and leadership have made him a standout, but the €25m bid has sparked debate. Fans on X called the offer “an insult” for a player of his caliber, with some labeling it a “steal” if Milan accept. Chelsea, already stocked with five goalkeepers, see Maignan as a potential No. 1 to challenge Robert Sanchez. As negotiations progress, this transfer could mark a significant coup for the Premier League side aiming to bolster their squad.
