Manchester United maintains pursuit of AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan despite the French international's reported preference for Chelsea. TEAMtalk sources confirm the Red Devils remain optimistic about securing the 30-year-old's signature. Chelsea attempted to acquire Maignan during the previous summer window after Robert Sanchez's inconsistent performances raised concerns about their goalkeeping position. Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri blocked the potential transfer while contract extension talks with the Italian club have reached an impasse. Manager Ruben Amorim views the goalkeeper role as requiring significant improvement despite recent signing Senny Lamine joining the squad.
Maignan appears more likely to complete a free transfer to Chelsea when his current deal expires next summer. The French international has established himself among world football's elite goalkeepers since arriving at Milan in 2021. His achievements feature leading Milan to the 2021-2022 Serie A championship and capturing the UEFA Nations League with France's national team.
