Premier League
Aston Villa and Chelsea are preparing to compete for the signing of Mike Maignan, goalkeeper of AC Milan, who could leave in the summer for a more accessible price than expected. Both English clubs are looking to strengthen their goal and see in the Frenchman an unbeatable opportunity, considering that his future at San Siro is uncertain due to the lack of agreement to renew his contract.
Milan has not been able to finalize the extension of his contract, which expires in 2026, and his inconsistent performance this season has stalled negotiations. The Rossoneri's board, aware of the possibility of losing him without compensation in the coming years, could be open to selling him if an agreement is not reached before the end of the season. Additionally, qualification for the Champions League will influence the club's decision, as failing to secure their presence in the top European competition would make Maignan one of the main sale options.
Aston Villa and Chelsea want to sign Mike Maignan
Chelsea has been monitoring him for a while and has been in contact with his camp, as Enzo Maresca is seeking an elite goalkeeper to consolidate his project. On the other hand, Aston Villa is also considering his addition, although no final decision has been made as it would depend on the future of Emiliano Martínez.
AC Milan valued the goalkeeper at 80 million euros a year ago, but his contractual situation and inconsistent performance have lowered his price, allowing interested parties to negotiate his transfer for a figure close to 40 million. With summer approaching and uncertainty surrounding his continuity in Italy, Maignan could become one of the most sought-after pieces in the market.
