Breaking: Chelsea end Maignan chase, back current goalkeepers — Report
Chelsea Football Club has reportedly pulled out interest to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, with the deal collapsing over a valuation dispute.
The Premier League side on Tuesday were unwilling to meet Milan’s asking price, which reportedly included a premium tied to the upcoming Club World Cup.
“Mike Maignan deal now OFF between Chelsea and AC Milan. Chelsea not willing to meet Milan price, deal not proceeding in time for Club World Cup as #CFC won’t pay ‘CWC tax’,” Romano reported.
The breakdown in talks means Chelsea will not secure the French international’s signature ahead of the global tournament.
Instead, the club is placing its faith in its current goalkeeping roster. Romano noted that Chelsea “maintain full trust in Petrović, Sánchez, Jorgensen + talent Mike Penders for GK role.”
