Chelsea and Milan have been in negotiations for the Frenchman this week, with the Blues initially having a €10m bid rejected.
That offer was considered derisory given Maignan's status as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
New Maignan offer
Chelsea have now made a final and improved offer of €15m for the 29-year-old.
They have given Milan until Tuesday to give an answer as Chelsea need to get the deal done before the Club World Cup transfer window closes.
Maignan wants to make the move to Stamford Bridge.
Romano reports that Milan value Maignan at €30 million.
Chelsea have much such a low offer because they argue the goalkeeper only has one year left on his contract.
Maignan’s contract at Milan expires next year and he has still not penned a new deal.
In March it was reported that Maignan had a verbal agreement with Milan on a €5 million per year deal until 2028.
However, that contract has not been signed still amid talk in the Italian media that Milan are backtracking.
Maignan has been increasingly linked with a summer move to Chelsea this summer in recent weeks.
Chelsea plan to sign a new goalkeeper this summer as current number one Robert Sanchez has not impressed.
Until recently, Maignan had been considered untouchable at San Siro but he endured a difficult season - just like the rest of his team, who finished eighth in Serie A and failed to qualify for Europe.
Maignan made a string of costly blunders this season, including a catastrophic error that allowed Feyenoord to eliminate Milan from the Champions League playoffs.
That has not stopped Chelsea from wanting to sign Maignan this summer.
Maignan at Milan
The 29-year-old Maignan joined Milan from Lille in 2021 for just €15 million.
He was signed as the replacement for Gianluigi Donnarumma, who departed that summer for PSG on a free transfer when his contract expired.
Despite having Donnarumma's massive gloves to fill, Maignan was a revelation in his first season as he helped Milan win a surprise Scudetto under Stefano Pioli.
He was named Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year in that first season as he established himself as the best in the league.
Since then, Maignan has not managed to maintain the same brilliant consistency he showed in 2021-22 - and he has also faced a number of layoffs through injury.
In total, Maignan has made over 150 appearances for Milan, also winning the Italian Super Cup in 2024 and reaching the Champions League semis in 2023.
He has been capped 31 times by France and was France number one at Euro 2024, also travelling to Euro 2020.
