Chelsea Football Club have decided to stop their proposed move to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

The Blues were offered the France international and they valued him at between €10m (£8.46m) and €15m (£12.7m) ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. The proposed fee from Chelsea for the goalkeeper did not sit well with the hierarchy at AC Milan who are looking to bring in a replacement for Robert Sanchez.

Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed on his official social media account that the deal is off. According to him, both clubs are not able to reach an agreement fo the French international.

He said,

“Mike Maignan deal now OFF between Chelsea and AC Milan. Chelsea not willing to meet Milan price, deal not proceeding in time for Club World Cup as #CFC won’t pay ‘CWC tax.”

Chelsea already have five goalkeepers on their books Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic, Mike Penders and Kepa Arrizabalaga but they are now unlikely to sign a ‘keeper this summer with Mike Maignan deal not seeing the light of day.

However, there is a possibility that Chelsea return to the deal when the window opens again in July 2025 before the end of the club world cup.
