However, Milan remain resistant, with new head coach Massimiliano Allegri reluctant to part ways with a player viewed as key to the squad.
Maignan, who joined from Lille in 2021 for €16 million, has amassed 163 appearances for the Rossoneri and played a crucial role in their 2021/22 Scudetto triumph.
Talks over a contract extension at San Siro have stalled, further fueling speculation over his future.
While Torino’s Vanja Milinković-Savić has been proposed as a potential replacement, Milan are not expected to greenlight Maignan’s departure unless Chelsea return with a significantly improved bid.
The standoff comes as Milan finalise the €75 million sale of midfielder Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City, and prepare to welcome veteran Luka Modrić on a free transfer.
