Report Maignan could be targeted by Chelsea again despite new Milan deal
Just five months on from signing his new contract with Milan, Mike Maignan is back in the news with speculation Chelsea are ready to make another offer for the goalkeeper.
He had seemed to be on the verge of an exit last year, when his contract was running down and he was set to become available as a free agent.
Chelsea were the favourites then and had reportedly agreed personal terms, but the Rossoneri rejected the proposal and were proved right, able to negotiate an extension.

That was signed in January 2026 and will run to June 2031, so it looked as if his career choice had been made to stick it out at San Siro.
