Chelsea has been deeply connected with AC Milan’s Mike Meignan over the past few months.
However, the Blues failed to sign French international goalkeeper during the summer transfer period. They were able to restart the movement of the experienced goalkeeper.
According to a report from AS Roma Live, Bruce is currently “confident in completing the transaction” and signing the goalkeeper. They need more quality in that area of the pitch.
Chelsea needs Mike Maignan
Robert Sanchez is overwhelming and has been criticized for his performance. Mike Meignan is a major upgrade. He has been an important player in the club and country in recent years. He has proven himself in France and Italy. He is now trying to test his quality in the UK.
There is no doubt that he has the quality to thrive in the Premier League. If they can get the deal done, he could become a key player for Chelsea. Bruce needs players like him if he wants to fight for major trophies. Having a world-class goalkeeper can make a huge difference for them. It remains to be seen whether Mainyan will be able to make an immediate impact in the Premier League. He will soon become a free agent and could be used in January for a reasonable amount.
It seems unlikely that Meinyan’s movement will occur in January.
The report doesn’t say whether Chelsea is ready to make a move for him in January or whether he will wait until the summer transfer window to sign a free transfer. It is still unknown how the situation will develop. Milan wouldn’t want to lose a key player like him mid-season. Summer departures are ideal for them.
