US EditionTransfer: Maginan's Move to Chelsea Collapses
- Chelsea failed to sign Jamie Gittens or Mike Maignan before the Tuesday transfer deadline while confirming the signing of Mamadou Sarr on Monday.
- Chelsea's bids for Gittens were rejected by Borussia Dortmund, who demanded more than the £42 million offer, and Chelsea walked away from Maignan negotiations over fee disagreements.
- Chelsea aimed to bolster their squad ahead of the Club World Cup, including signing Sarr from Strasbourg and pursuing other attacking and goalkeeping targets.
- Chelsea's £42 million bid for Gittens was refused, and the Maignan deal collapsed despite the player's wish to join the club, with the club calling Milan's price a 'Club World Cup tax'.
- Chelsea's failure to complete key transfers before the deadline leaves their squad development uncertain, though they retain faith in current keepers and may revisit targets later in the window.
