Chelsea have made a new offer for Mike Maignan, hoping to sign the AC Milan goalkeeper before the Club World Cup deadline on Tuesday.
The Blues have already had two offers for Maignan rejected by Milan, the first worth €10 million and the second increased to €15m.

Nicolo Schira reports that Chelsea have now made a third bid worth €20m and they hope to complete the transfer today, on Tuesday, before the Club World Cup deadline.
A special transfer window closes at the end of June 10 after which any players signed cannot play in the group stages of the Club World Cup.
New Maignan offer
Schira adds that Milan are demanding €23m to close the deal, so the two parties are nearly there.
Chelsea and Milan have been in negotiations for the Frenchman this past week.
Maignan wants to make the move to Stamford Bridge and is refusing to extend his Milan contract that expires in 2026.
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.
