Chelsea is interested in signing AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maynya during the January transfer period.
They want to secure a pre-contract agreement with France International. He becomes a free agent at the end of the season and Chelsea is about to sign him on a free transfer. They were heavily on the way to Meignan during the summer transfer period, but were unable to secure an agreement with the Italian outfit.
Can Chelsea sign Mainyan?
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can close the move in the coming months. According to TBR Football, they are confident they will sign French goalkeepers.
They certainly can use more quality in the goalkeeping department. Robert Sanchez has been criticised for his mediocre performance, and Chelsea need him an upgrade. Mainyan was one of the best goalkeepers in European football and he was able to prove he was an excellent addition. He has been labelled in the past as an “elite” player. He is at the peak of his career, and this may be the right time for him to move through the Premier League.
Meignan might fantasize about Chelsea’s moves
Chelsea is one of the largest clubs in the world and can provide him with a platform to fight for the trophy. He may be drawn to the idea of joining them. The London Club can also offer him a deal in favour of interest. They recently managed to win the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. They are aiming to compete for major trophies this season. The opportunity to play for them would be difficult to refuse for the French International.
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can quickly close the deal. If they can sign a player of his quality with a free transfer, it would be a huge bargain.
