Chelsea Target Barcelona Veteran Goalkeeper After Maignan Deal Collapse

UEFA Conference League 2024-2025 champions Chelsea are now targeting Barcelona’s veteran goalkeeper — after failing to secure Mike Maignan from AC Milan in this summer’s transfer window.

The Blues’ search for a new goalkeeper has become a top priority due to disappointing performances from Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen throughout last season. The situation is further complicated by the club’s decision to release Djordje Petrovic to Strasbourg, despite the keeper’s impressive loan spell.

Chelsea previously approached Mike Maignan, but negotiations with AC Milan reached a deadlock — despite the French player’s personal agreement.
