Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly set his sights on signing AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan during the upcoming January transfer window, as per Fichajes (h/t Caught Offside).
While the Blues secured the services of Robert Sanchez from Brighton over the summer, they are rumored to be interested in further strengthening their goalkeeping department.
The 28-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers globally, making him an attractive proposition for the Premier League club. The potential move raises questions about how Robert Sanchez will respond to the competition if the Londoners indeed pursue Maignan.
Reports suggest that Rossoneri are keen on securing the Frenchman's services on a long-term contract, potentially until the summer of 2028, which might impact his availability for the West London giants.
However, Todd Boehly and his board's financial resources could certainly allow them to present a lucrative offer to the France international, who has showcased his talents in both Serie A and the UEFA Champions League.
Nevertheless, if Chelsea have the means to tempt the shot-stopper with an attractive contract, it remains to be seen whether a player of his caliber seeks to compete at the highest level, particularly in the UEFA Champions League, which Pochettino's team is not participating in this season.
