Chelsea talking to Milan over France keeper Maignan

Chelsea are in talks with AC Milan over signing France goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

The Italian club value Maignan at about £25m but the Blues do not want to meet Milan's asking price and are in talks about a lower fee.

The 29-year-old has been a regular for Milan since joining on a five-year contract from Lille in 2021.

He has also been first choice for France since Hugo Lloris retired from international football in January 2023.

Sources have told BBC Sport that Maignan would be interested in a move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have struggled to find a long-term option in goal since buying Kepa Arrizabalaga in 2018 for £71m, which remains the world-record fee for a goalkeeper.
