AC Milan sports director, Igli Tare, confirmed that Mike Maignan would not leave the club this summer despite the approach from Chelsea.
Chelsea learned about the ability to recruit Mike Maignan before going to attend the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Milan's captain, who still had a year in the contract, really wanted to move to Stamford Bridge, but both sides did not reach an agreement before the tournament.

Mike Maignan is Chelsea's top target in the summer of 2025. |
Enzo Maresca's team is only ready to pay about £ 15 million to the French player, while Milan requires a fee of at least 20 million pounds. Chelsea will continue to find a way to recruit French players in the coming days, but AC Milan's sports director, Igli Tare, affirmed that Mike Maignan would not leave the club this summer, he said:
“Maignan will not leave, he will continue to wear AC Milan in the next season.
Despite being eliminated in the middle of last season, Robert Sanchez regained the No. 1 position in the wooden frame of coach Maresca and played the main match in both Chelsea matches so far at FIFA Club World Cup. The Spanish player will once again compete with Filip Jorgensen next season, while young Mike Penders can also appear after being lent to Genk last season.
Djordje Petrovic had a successful loan season last season, impressing the French Strasbourg Club at Ligue 1, but the Serbian player is currently preparing to leave Chelsea this summer after not being named in the Chelsea team attending the FIFA Club World Cup.
