Transfer deal expected to be finalised tomorrow.
Chelsea is on the verge of signing Mike Maignan from AC Milan, with multiple sources confirming the deal is expected to be finalized tomorrow, Monday, June 9.
Maignan, 29, has already agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, and the two clubs are close to reaching a complete agreement. The transfer fee is expected to be around €18 million, slightly higher than Chelsea’s initial offer of €15 million.
The deal is progressing rapidly, and Chelsea needs to announce Maignan’s signing before Tuesday at 20:00 CET to ensure he’s eligible for the Club World Cup.
This deadline adds a sense of urgency to the negotiations, but it seems likely that the transfer will be completed in time.
With Maignan expected to leave, Milan is eyeing Roma’s goalkeeper Mile Svilar, whose contract also expires in 2026, as a potential replacement.
Milan’s search for a new goalkeeper has been ongoing, and Svilar’s situation at Roma makes him an attractive target. The transfer market is heating up, and we’ll likely see more moves from both Chelsea and Milan in the coming weeks.
