Bayern are considering a move for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who has long been on Chelsea’s radar.
Details: According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea and Bayern are actively negotiating over Milan’s shot-stopper Mike Maignan. Bayern are searching for a new goalkeeper to succeed Manuel Neuer, who is expected to retire soon, while Chelsea are in urgent need of a new presence between the sticks right now.
Maignan finds himself in a strong position with his contract at Milan expiring this summer, and he’s in no rush to sign a new deal—making a move to one of Europe’s elite clubs more likely than ever.
Transfermarkt values Maignan at €25 million. This season, the French goalkeeper has featured in 11 matches, keeping six clean sheets along the way.
Reminder: Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling defended his family with a knife, bravely fighting off burglars who broke into his home.
