Chelsea Shifts Focus to Mike Maignan, Potential January Signing

Chelsea lost their last Premier League match to Manchester United 1–2, going down to ten men early due to Robert Sánchez’s red card. The team is looking for a new goalkeeper.

Details: Chelsea is reportedly interested in Milan and France goalkeeper Mike Maignan. With just a year left on his contract, he could start talks for a transfer as early as January 2026.

Maignan’s profile has risen after Sánchez’s performance in the recent Manchester United match. Chelsea had the chance to sign him last summer but decided against it.

Reminder: Cole Palmer showed frustration when he was substituted in the last game. His reaction wasn’t about the coach’s decision but stemmed from a recurring injury. Palmer returned to the bench with an ice pack on his groin.
