Chelsea set to return for Mike Maignan, Jamie Gittens after failure to seal deadline move

Chelsea have been linked with players like Mike Maignan and Jamie Gittens in recent weeks, but they failed to seal Tuesday deals for them.

Chelsea have failed to sign Mike Maignan and Jamie Gittens so far, but they will return for the two players with improved offers when the summer transfer window reopens in the coming days. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Chelsea wanted to sign the two players before the Club World Cup.

However, the Blues have failed to get the deals done before Tuesday’s deadline. They will return for the two players in future. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deals done before the window closes. It is no secret that they need a quality goalkeeper, and the French international would be the ideal acquisition.

Maignan is certainly one of the best players in his position, and he has helped AC Milan win the Serie A title previously. He proved his quality in French football as well, helping Lille win the Ligue 1 title.

Chelsea are unhappy with the performance of Robert Sanchez. The Spaniard has been quite disappointing. They will need to replace him in the summer, and the French International could be the ideal acquisition. The 29-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in English football. He is entering the final year of his contract, and the Italian outfit are under pressure to sell him this summer.

Chelsea could use more attacking quality

Meanwhile, Chelsea need to add more quality and depth to the attacking unit as well and have their sights set on Jamie Gittens. The Englishman has done quite well in the Bundesliga, and he has the technical attributes to thrive in English football as well.

The young attacker has been an important player for Borussia Dortmund, and he will look to make his mark in English football if the transfer goes through. Joining a big club like Chelsea will be quite exciting for him. It remains to be seen whether the Blues can secure an agreement with the two respective clubs for the two players. The Blues have secured Champions League qualification for the 2025/26 season, and they need better players at their disposal.
