The1905.Club Summary

Chelsea are quietly continuing their search for a new goalkeeper, with AC Milan’s Mike Maignan among those being closely monitored, sources confirm. While public messaging from the club indicates the current crop — including Robert Sánchez, Djordje Petrovic, and Filip Jorgensen — will compete for the No.1 spot next season, internal plans suggest otherwise.

Chelsea are prepared to invest in the right profile and are exploring their options as part of another potentially big summer of spending, which will be balanced by player sales. Petrovic could leave if a strong offer arrives, while Jorgensen is still rated internally despite being behind Sánchez in the current pecking order.

Key Points

Internal vs. external messaging: Publicly, Chelsea are suggesting no goalkeeper signings are planned, but privately, they’re still scouting for a new No.1.
‍
Mike Maignan watched: AC Milan’s Maignan is admired by the club and has been subject to internal discussions, despite concerns about recent form.
‍
Budget available: There is a set budget for a new goalkeeper, and Chelsea are preparing for another active transfer window.
‍
Petrovic's future uncertain: A sale remains possible if a strong bid comes in and the player seeks more guaranteed playing time.
‍
Jorgensen still backed: Filip Jorgensen is considered the best stylistic fit for Enzo Maresca’s football, but is currently out of the starting XI.
‍
Player sales key: Outgoings, including decisions by goalkeepers themselves, will help shape Chelsea's final decision on whether to sign a new stopper.
