Chelsea’s leading goalkeeper target Mike Maignan reportedly rejected Manchester United’s initial approaches to focus on a move to west London. The Blues are thought to be closing in on a cut-price deal.

On Monday, Chelsea confirmed the signing of 19-year-old defender Mamadou Sarr from sister club Strasbourg for a fee of £12m on a deal running until 2033.

AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan and Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens both wish to join Chelsea this summer, according to reports. The west London club are keen to sign a new goalkeeper after a series of unconvincing performances from Robert Sanchez in the 2024-25 season.
