Chelsea are ready to make a renewed approach to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, according to Football Insider.
The Blues were keen on landing the France international before the Club World Cup back in June, but could not find a suitable deal.
The Rossoneri wanted at least 20 million pounds for the shot-stopper, but the Blues were reluctant to pay more than 10 million pounds.
The west London giants are still monitoring his situation and could return with an approach in January or pursue a free transfer.
Milan have yet to convince Maignan to extend his contract expiring next summer and they could be tempted to accept a winter sale.
Robert Sanchez has had a good start to the campaign with the Blues, but there are still question marks over his handling and distribution.
The Blues may want a strong competitor for the no.1 role. Maignan would be an upgrade on Filip Jorgensen and could displace Sanchez too.
