Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca, has named his first and second choice goalkeepers at Stamford Bridge as they await the arrival of Mike Maignan from AC Milan.
Chelsea last week approached AC Milan to sign Mike Maignan as new goalkeeper as the player is yet to sign a new contract at the club.
The Frenchman has always been high on the Blues’ list, with clubs in talks, decision up to Milan.
However, as talks progressed between the two parties, the deal was off as Chelsea were not willing to meet AC Milan’s price.
The deal did not proceed in time for the Club World Cup as Chelsea would not pay Club World Cup tax.
The Blues could return to complete the deal but maintain full trust in Petrović, Sánchez, Flip Jorgensen and talent Mike Penders for their goalkeeper role.
During his prematch press conference on Sunday, Maresca was asked about the possible arrival of Maignan, and the Italian responded, according to Fabrizio Romano, “Robert Sanchez is No 1 and then Filip Jorgensen is No 2.
“Mike Penders has joined us. Then we will take a final decision.”
Maresca also confirmed Chelsea will bring in a new winger to replace Jadon Sancho who has gone back to Manchester United after a season-long loan at Stamford Bridge.
“New winger? Something will happen for sure.
“Jadon Sancho has left so we only have three proper wingers now,” he added.
