Chelsea have used their ongoing negotiations with AC Milan to enquire about a possible deal for goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
Milan are keen to strike a deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek and the two sides have been negotiating over the past few weeks with a view to a permanent deal which could be worth close to €20m.

While at the negotiating table, sources have confirmed that Chelsea officials took the opportunity to bring up Maignan, who has established himself as one of the top goalkeepers on the planet since his move to San Siro in 2021.
However, their approach was met with fierce resistance from Milan, who are not keen on parting ways with the 27-year-old French stopper this summer.
The negotiations over Loftus-Cheek, which are progressing well, are understood to be separate to any talks over a hypothetical move for Maignan.
