"Maignan is out of contract at AC Milan at the end of the season, and Man Utd are keen on a bargain deal for the France international goalkeeper. However, Chelsea are also interested in Maignan, with last season's Conference League and 2025 FIFA Club World Cup winners having tried to do a deal with AC Milan for the French star in the summer of 2025. The goalkeeper himself wants to join the Blues."
"To be fair to Ruben Amorim, one of the first things he said when he came in was that he was not happy with the goalkeepers, but he knew that could not be solved overnight. Now, as a club, they have decided a new number one is needed in 2026 - no surprise, and it appears that they aim to have the new player competing with Senne Lammens long-term."
"In terms of who they are looking at, I can confirm as a club they do like Mike Maignan - but he is someway down the road with Chelsea. They tried to sign him in the summer, but Max Allegri did not want to lose him; now his talks over a new deal are not going well. We know they like Emi Martinez, Diogo Costa, and Zion Suzuki."
Manchester United view Mike Maignan as a potential free-agent signing next summer, seeking a bargain while his AC Milan contract expires at season's end. Chelsea have also pursued Maignan, attempted a summer 2025 deal, and are the goalkeeper's preferred destination as contract talks at Milan stall. A club has determined a new long-term number one is required in 2026 to compete with Senne Lammens. Several keepers are under consideration, including Emi Martinez, Diogo Costa, and Zion Suzuki, and clubs plan careful assessment to ensure the right long-term choice is made.
