The goalkeeper expiring in 2026 oriented to farewell, but Chelsea offers 15-20 million: they are not enough. The track for any replacement leads to Rome

This time it will not be the club world championship to dictate the times and demand yet another market tribute. Lost Reijnders in a few days – the tournament loomed and the City had the extreme need to enlist Tijjani in time -, now there is the name of Maignan in the spotlight. Another big Rossoneri at stake, another potential heavy exit, and the fans are increasingly nervous because – net of enthusiasm for the now more than probable arrival of Modric – they cannot understand which Milan will find themselves in the cheerful hands. Maignan is also attached by British sirens. In his case, what Chelsea with which the Rossoneri club has recorded considerable traffic in recent years. However, there is a substantial difference from the Reijnders case: for the blues there is no absolute need to weave it by the beginning of the World Cup. In short, no haste because there are four goalkeepers in the pink.

Having said this, the interest is however concrete. Chelsea has set her eyes on Mike, and certainly not since yesterday. The problem, for Milan, is that Mike is thinking very seriously. Honestly said: at this moment his orientation leads to greetings and not to a stay. In practical terms, however, the blues have not yet formalized an official offer in via Aldo Rossi. It will come, because Mike is a specific request from Enzo Maresca. Net of the respective will, however, a simple negotiation is not announced. In fact, Milan do not want to hear about figures lower than 30 million, while Chelsea thinks about the view to 15, maximum 20, leveraging the fact that the French contract will expire next year. In short, the distance is remarkable and it is also for this reason that they are not in a hurry from London. Of the series: if we take it, it will be in our condition. Concept that also applies to those who sell, of course. The first concrete contact between the two clubs should take place shortly. MAIGNAN, however, would derogate from the Blues market philosophy, which now turn almost exclusively to the under 23.

Eyes on Mile

Meanwhile, Milan is doing everything possible to convince Mike to stay where he is. In the ideas of the club he and Leao are the big names from which to start again and there is Allegri who is spending themselves in particular with the French. He has already spoken to us, he will do it again. But, without guarantees of success, the devil must have an alternative solution. The currently more convincing track leads to Mile Tesular, whose meeting with the Rome management for renewal did not go as the Giallorossi club hoped for. The goalkeeper met Ghisolfi and Ranieri (in the guise of “facilitator”), but the smoke is gray. The request is 4 million, Roma offered first 1.6 and then 2 more bonuses. The farewell (contract expiring in 2027) is therefore a concrete event for the Serbian goalkeeper born in Belgium and arrived at Rome from Benfica on a parameter zero in 2022. Svilar is a marked liking from Allegri and in the meantime he has received a hard attack from the Serbian CT Stojkovic. “At a certain point he said we didn’t have to summon him. He made a mistake, it’s his fault. Maybe his girlfriend is not very interested in Serbia.” The alternative (low cost) to Swylar is Elia Caprile, in the last six months from Napoli to Cagliari on loan with the right of redemption that the Sardinians should not exercise.
