Football Italia exclusively reported that Maignan was eager to join Chelsea amid stalled contract talks with the Rossoneri.

However, Chelsea are prepared to send an offer of just €15m, at least €10m below Milan’s asking price.

Calciomercato.com confirms that Allegri doesn’t want to part company with Maignan and has already asked director Igli Tare to resume contract talks with the goalkeeper whose deal runs out in June 2026.
