According to reports, Chelsea officials have expressed interest in Mike Maignan, the accomplished goalkeeper who has impressed since joining Milan in 2021.
With the 2022/23 English Premier League season concluded, attention now shifts to the summer transfer window for the 2023/24 campaign. The league, known for its humongous spending, anticipates another round of significant investments. Chelsea, having previously set a record for the highest spending spree in football history in 2022, surpassed their own record in January 2023.
Premier League clubs have already begun spending vast sums of money, indicating an equally lavish 2023 summer transfer window. According to various reports, Brighton initiated the transfers by acquiring Watford’s Joao Pedro for £30 million, followed by Liverpool’s impressive signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for £35 million.
Liverpool and Newcastle are rumored to have interest in Juventus’ Federico Chiesa. Juventus is already exploring replacements like Nicolo Zaniolo and Wilfried Gnonto. Manchester City has reached a personal agreement with Mateo Kovacic, pending discussions with Chelsea regarding the transfer fee.
Al-Ahli is actively pursuing Riyad Mahrez, reportedly offering a substantial €100 million contract plus bonuses. Mahrez, with two years remaining on his Manchester City contract, has had an impressive season, contributing 15 goals and 13 assists in 47 matches as the team aims for a historic Treble under Pep Guardiola.
According to reports, Chelsea officials have expressed interest in Mike Maignan, the accomplished goalkeeper who has impressed since joining Milan in 2021. However, Milan has firmly rebuffed any notion of letting go of the 27-year-old French goalkeeper during the current transfer window. Chelsea is seriously considering Maignan as a potential new first-choice goalkeeper. Nonetheless, AC Milan, as per reports, is hesitant to part ways with the talented French international.
Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly interested in acquiring Napoli striker Victor Osimhen to strengthen their attacking lineup. However, any potential deal for the Nigerian forward is expected to be costly, as Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, is reportedly demanding a fee around €130 million. PSG’s pursuit of Osimhen is driven by their desire to complement Kylian Mbappé, who prefers playing alongside a central focal point in their attack. Despite PSG’s interest, Napoli is reluctant to sell Osimhen, and competition for his signature is expected from Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.
Reports reveal that Manchester City has initiated preliminary discussions with RB Leipzig regarding the potential signing of defender Josko Gvardiol. Following their UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan on June 10th, City is expected to intensify their pursuit of the 21-year-old Croatian player. Gvardiol is considered the primary target for City as they enter the upcoming summer transfer window. The club is reportedly optimistic about reaching an agreement for the talented defender. Gvardiol possesses a release clause of nearly £100 million in his RB Leipzig contract, which will become active in the summer of 2024. He recently extended his contract with Leipzig until June 2027.
