Serie A is now a retirement home, Milan Shuangxiang is a classic team, and this operating model must also have drawbacks, that is, it cannot retain players with a sense of honor, especially AC Milan of RedBird Capital.

According to the latest revelations from the "Team Daily", Maignan, the No. 1 goalkeeper of the French national team, has clearly informed AC Milan that either he will be offered a transfer fee below the value of this summer window to join Chelsea, or he will leave the team on a free basis when his contract expires in the summer window next year, and the player will not be able to renew his contract.

In September last year, Maignan was close to completing a contract extension with AC Milan, with an annual salary of about 4 million euros after tax, but RedBird Capital believed that Maignan was not worth the price, which led to the contract renewal negotiations between the two sides blowing. Now Milan's new coach Allegri has no persuasion, Maignan has been determined to join Chelsea, the Blues have also sent Milan an offer of 15 million euros, Maignand transferred the valuation of 25 million euros. Maignan has forced Milan to either leave this summer or get a visa waiver next summer.

It is reported that Chelsea are still in talks with Milan for the transfer of Maignan at the moment, although no agreement has been reached. Chelsea are expected to raise the transfer fee to €20 million in order to finalise a move on Maignan ahead of the Club World Cup. According to Di Marzio, 20 million euros is Chelsea's final offer, and Milan will wait for the next summer window to get a free visa if they don't sell, and if Milan sell Chelsea, they will take Maignan to the Club World Cup.
