According to sources, the London club are working aggressively to bring in Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United and Mike Maignan from AC Milan, with both players now seen as high-priority targets for new manager Enzo Maresca.
The ownership is said to be determined to deliver two marquee signings that will immediately bolster the squad ahead of the fast-approaching Premier League season.
The push for Garnacho comes as no surprise given his rapid rise at Old Trafford. Still only 20 years old, the Argentine winger has already established himself as one of the most exciting young prospects in world football.
His blistering pace, flair on the ball, and eye for goal have made him a crowd favorite at Manchester United. Many see him as a future superstar, and it is understood that Chelsea view him as a game-changing addition who could inject energy and unpredictability into their attack.
Reports indicate that the Blues are ready to hand Garnacho a central role in their long-term plans, presenting him with the chance to be one of the cornerstones of their rebuild under Boehly’s leadership.
Although Bayern Munich have expressed interest, Chelsea believe their ambitious project at Stamford Bridge, coupled with the prospect of consistent first-team football, could tip the scales in their favor.
Meanwhile, the situation with Mike Maignan is equally intriguing. Chelsea already have Robert Sánchez and Đorđe Petrović in their goalkeeping ranks, but there is growing recognition within the club that a proven world-class option is needed to stabilize the backline.
Maignan, who has built a reputation as one of Europe’s elite keepers thanks to his performances with AC Milan and the French national team, is viewed as the ideal solution. His sharp reflexes, leadership, and composure under pressure have earned widespread admiration.
Chelsea scouts are convinced he fits the profile perfectly and are hoping that the allure of the Premier League and the chance to be part of an ambitious new project will persuade him to leave Italy, despite Milan’s reluctance to lose their number one.
The reported £70 million package for both players highlights Chelsea’s attempt to combine smart spending with impactful signings, especially after coming under scrutiny for heavy outlays in recent transfer windows.
Insiders claim the recruitment team is working tirelessly to ensure the deals remain within financial fair play regulations while still strengthening two key areas of the squad.
For Garnacho, the decision could ultimately depend on whether Chelsea’s vision of making him a central figure in a youthful, attack-minded setup under Maresca is more appealing than staying at Old Trafford or exploring offers from other European giants.
As for Maignan, Chelsea are quietly confident that the Premier League stage and their ambitious long-term plan may be enough to secure his signature.
Should Boehly and his team succeed in completing this double signing, it would send shockwaves across the Premier League, reinforcing Chelsea’s determination to return to the top of English football. The message from Stamford Bridge is clear: Chelsea do not just intend to participate in the market — they want to dominate it.
