London, England – Na wetin we go talk today? Chelsea don set their eyes on Mike Maignan, the top man wey goalkeeping department dey look for. As e be, Maignan don reportedly reject Manchester United, wey wan make am team member. Na for Chelsea him dey focus now, and dem dey prepare to close am for better deal.
Reports show say the Blues don offer AC Milan around £15 million ($20.3 million) for Maignan, but na wetin we go call low-ball. AC Milan dey look for something around £25 million ($34.2 million), but with just one year left for Maignan contract, dem fit no get choice. If dem no fit settle before this summer finish, dem go lose am for free next year, and that one no go sweet for dem.
So, what’s the matter? Well, Chelsea and Milan don start to discuss again this week. Na good news because all dem parties get the same mission. Milan don ready to wave bye-bye to their goalkeeper wey no get better season last year; while Maignan dey ginger to join Chelsea, as e no even think twice before he decline Man United’s interest (dem try sha, but football no be only about name).
But make we no forget United, wahala for their side no be small. Dem dey face their own problems, manager don talk say di team fit be one of di worst wey dem don ever get. Even with all dia fame, dem dey struggle. Na im make some players dey choose Chelsea over dem. For example, Matheus Cunha still choose to join United despite all di drama.
As e stand, Maignan dey ready to leave, and Chelsea wan grab am before another team do am. If dem fit come close to Milan’s asking price, dem go fit make am happen. But time dey tick, because Chelsea no wan mess up again before Club World Cup wey dey come.
And trust sey things dey happen fast for Chelsea camp this summer. Dem don chop and change keepers like person dey change clothes, with no solid option for goal post. But this teenage Belgian keeper, and Djordje Petrovic wey don return from loan, fit change di game. Kepa Arrizabalaga fit even pack him load go Arsenal, if e no careful (the boys dey eye am!).
As football scene dey hot and transfer news dey fly left and right, Chelsea don get their eyes set on much things. With FIFA Club World Cup dey come for dem calendar, na serious matter dem dey face now. Maignan deal dey on top of di list, but dem still dey eye other potentials like Franco Mastantuono from River Plate, and some young guns wey fit improve their squad.
So, Chelsea dey push to complete Maignan deal, try no make dem lose face for another one. Fans dey watch as e dey unfold, and e go sweet if dem fit gather all di players wey fit bring dem glory.
