🚨 Maignan set to leave, Chelsea bid rejected ❌ Milan eye Svilar and Savić 🔐 | OneFootball

Mike Maignan’s adventure at Milan now seems to be drawing to a close.

Chelsea, which has shown strong interest in the French goalkeeper for days, has now made a concrete offer. Now it’s up to the Rossoneri club to find a worthy replacement, also to meet the demands of Massimiliano Allegri.

🤑 CHELSEA OFFER AND DEADLINE

The Blues, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, have submitted an official offer for the French goalkeeper, identified as their top target to guard the posts next season.

According to Romano, the figure is 15 million euros, while Gazzetta dello Sport, in today’s edition, adds that the initial 15 million offer was rejected by Milan. Gianluca Di Marzio specifies that a final amount—including various bonuses—close to 20 million could seal the deal.

Give or take a million, Chelsea—FR emphasizes—has set a deadline for Milan: by Tuesday, June 10, they want an answer. The goal is to bring him to the Club World Cup, so they want to close the deal on the last day of the transfer window.

Crucial in this operation is Maignan’s own will, who—according to Gazzetta dello Sport—would like a change of scenery, disappointed by how his renewal was handled. After several attempts in recent months to extend his contract expiring on June 30, 2026, the decision was made not to proceed with the extension.

Not even Allegri’s efforts to convince him to stay have changed things: Maignan has chosen to turn the page. And so must the Rossoneri club.

🧤 POSSIBLE REPLACEMENTS: SVILAR, SUZUKI...

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the first name on Allegri’s mind to replace Maignan is Mile Svilar. The Belgian-born Serbian has a contract with Roma until 2027 and earns one million per season. The Giallorossi have offered him a renewal at double that, but his agent Vlado Lemic—the same as Modric’s—has countered by asking for 4 million. Milan can go over 3 million, a figure closer to the goalkeeper’s demands.

The negotiation, however, will not be simple: Roma starts with a valuation of 30 million. The pink paper also points out that Alexis Saelemaekers could be included as a possible counterpart, which would be useful for Gasperini and who has performed well in the capital.

Furthermore, Matteo Moretto adds that if the deal for Svilar does not go through, they have secured Vanja Milinković-Savić as a backup. The relationship with the Serbian goalkeeper’s agent is excellent, and the player’s contract with Torino includes a 20 million euro release clause.

These are the two main profiles, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri are also monitoring alternatives, identified as Zion Suzuki and Elia Caprile. With Maignan’s imminent departure, following that of Reijnders, Milan is entering the heart of its revolution.
