Transfer: Maginan’s move to Chelsea collapses
Goal keeper, Mike Maignan’s move from AC Milan to Chelsea has been called off.
This is because the Blues are unwilling to meet the price Milan is asking for the goalkeeper.
The Premier League club regard the fee as ‘Club World Cup tax’ and have decided to walk away from negotiations.
Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, wrote on X on Tuesday: “Mike Maignan deal now OFF between Chelsea and AC Milan.
“Chelsea not willing to meet Milan price, deal not proceeding in time for Club World Cup as #CFC won’t pay “CWC tax”.
“#CFC maintain full trust in Petrović, Sánchez, Jorgensen + talent Mike Penders for GK role.”
AC Milan were reportedly asking for up for £18m for Maignan but Chelsea believe the Frenchman is not worth more than £12.6m.
