"The France international is edging closer to becoming a free agent, and he'll technically be able to start negotiating with clubs from abroad from January onwards. It seems that could now be the most likely outcome as Maignan's talks with Milan over a new deal have completely stalled, and any hope of a renewal now looks highly unlikely, according to Calciomercato."
"CFC would be doing very well to snap up a keeper of Maignan's calibre on a free transfer, as he'd likely be a huge upgrade on Robert Sanchez. It's not every day that quality players like this become free agents, so it's a big opportunity for Chelsea to try to take advantage of. At the same time, however, one imagines other big clubs could also easily join the running for Maignan's signature."
"If Maignan really does become a free agent, he'll surely be flooded with offers, and that could make it difficult for Chelsea to remain in pole position for him. The Blues may have benefited, however, from clearly getting close to signing him this year, so that might make it quicker and easier to agree terms with the player."
Mike Maignan is no closer to signing a new contract with AC Milan and is edging toward free agency, able to start negotiating with foreign clubs from January. Talks over a new deal have completely stalled and renewal now appears highly unlikely. Chelsea showed interest earlier in the summer and could renew attempts to sign Maignan on a free transfer, which would represent a significant upgrade over Robert Sanchez. Other major clubs are expected to enter the running, likely flooding Maignan with offers and complicating Chelsea's chances. Milan will continue trying to secure a new contract to avoid losing a key player for free.
