"Chelsea were linked with a move for the Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma during the summer transfer window, but they decided not to pursue him. According to TEAMtalk, the reason they decided to walk away from a move for the Italian International is that they believe they can sign Mike Maignan in the coming weeks. Manchester United are keen on Maignan as well."
"Maignan move failed in the summer The AC Milan goalkeeper will be a free agent at the end of the season, and he was heavily linked with Chelsea during the summer window. However, the Blues failed to secure an agreement with the Italian club. Chelsea were unwilling to pay the asking price for the French international goalkeeper. They believe that he could be available for a knock-down price in January, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done."
"Mike Maignan would be excellent AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan in action against Napoli (Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty Images) Chelsea will need to bring in an upgrade, and Maignan would be an excellent addition. He is certainly one of the best goalkeepers in Europe right now, and he has the quality and the experience to thrive in the Premier League. He could help Chelsea improve immensely."
Chelsea opted not to pursue Gianluigi Donnarumma after concluding a different goalkeeper target was achievable. The club believes it can sign AC Milan’s Mike Maignan in the coming weeks. Manchester United also have interest in Maignan. Maignan failed to move in the summer as Chelsea declined AC Milan’s asking price. Maignan will be a free agent at the end of the season and could be available for a reduced fee in January. Chelsea need an upgrade on Robert Sanchez, who has underwhelmed and was recently sent off. AC Milan will face pressure to sell rather than lose Maignan for free.
