According to Longo, Chelsea's first offer to Meinian was rejected.
Chelsea's introduction of Meinion has officially entered the substantive operation stage. Maresca has lost confidence in Robert Sanchez and hopes to introduce a higher level and more reliable goalkeeper to enhance the stability of the entire team.
The attractiveness of the Premier League and the chance to participate in the Champions League next season have successfully impressed Meinian, the French goalkeeper is very interested in the idea of joining Chelsea and has informed AC Milan that he is willing to accept the transfer.
However, Chelsea's first offer, including the bonus, did not even reach 20 million euros. Milan refused and made it clear that they hoped that the offer would be at least close to 30 million euros. Chelsea has learned about Milan’s asking price and informed the Ross and Blacks that they will make a new offer early next week. Considering that June 10 is the closing date for FIFA's transfer window for clubs participating in the Club World Cup, the Blues hope to complete negotiations before that.
Chelsea will provide a second offer next Monday, which will determine whether the deal will be successful, and if Milan refuses again, Chelsea will completely turn to other goalkeeper targets. Menion is currently waiting. If the transfer fails, he is also ready to play for Milan until the contract expires in July 2026.
