Chelsea is currently seeking information about “world-class” players, according to the report.
Blues pushing the Champions League
Despite a 0-0 draw against Brentford over the weekend, the Blues remained in a strong position to end their two-year Champions League break, sitting fourth at the Premier League table with only seven games left.
If Enzo Maresca achieves the Champions League qualification objectives, the campaign will likely go down to succeed, but there are still issues that managers need to address in the summer transfer window.
One problem position is the goalkeeper, with Robert Sanchez and Philip Jorgensen interchangeably, with Maresca suggesting that he could bring Jorge Petrovich back into the fold next season.

New Target: £50 million star Chelsea Eye Move “Like Bellingham”
The Bruce is aiming for a “incredible” midfielder compared to Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham.
Petrovich was impressed with the loan in Strasbourg. This means you can also give them another chance at Stamford Bridge. Nonetheless, the option to bring new goalkeepers from elsewhere remains at the table.
According to a report from Italy (via the Chelsea Chronicle), Chelsea is currently seeking information on AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maynang ahead of the possibility of a summer transfer.
Aston Villa and Manchester United are also appointed as potential suitors for Maignan, whose future at San Silo remains in the air, given that they have not yet signed a new contract to extend their stay with the Italian club.
The report rates the goalkeeper at £67 million, but he feels it will be available for half that price.
“World Class” Maignan could be a real upgrade to Sanchez
Sanchez has made five mistakes that have been extremely error-prone for the Blues this season, leading directly to the Premier League goal, the highest number of top-flight players.
So it’s no wonder Chelsea are thinking of signing a replacement for their summer windows. Considering it has been praised as “world class” by members of the Italian media, Meignan could be a real upgrade to the Spaniard.
Not only that, the French could be better suited to Maresca’s passing style play. This is ranked in the 80th percentile given his expressing his willingness to ride the ball over the past year compared to his positional peers.
It’s clear that Sanchez will need to be replaced this summer, and while Maignan has proven that he could be a solid replacement, giving Petrovich a nod this season with a very impressive display in League One could make more economical sense.
