Chelsea are refusing to match AC Milan's asking price for goalkeeper Mike Maignan despite having signed Liam Delap in a cut-price deal.
The Blues will not pay the £25million fee which the Italian side have valued their goalkeeper at.
Chelsea believe that the French international, who has one year remaining of his contract, is worth nearer to £10m.
The 29-year-old is yet to sign a contract extension at AC Milan but no bid has been forthcoming.
Maignan moved to Italy four years ago after six seasons with Lille, where he won Ligue 1 in 2021.
