Transfer market is on / Chelsea are targeting goalkeeper Menja, the Frenchman

Ambition guides life choices. This happens in every professional field. If, in addition to the projects you want to realize, you also have a reference person, a figure of trust, then everything is ready. For Majk Menja, this is exactly what happened. The Frenchman last summer, when he was immersed in his thoughts and honestly saw himself more away from Milan than inside it, found a strong point in Allegri.

Mike, coming off a season where the rules were broken at Milanello, the worst-case scenario for a perfectionist and ambitious man like him, saw the coach as the man of order he needed. A coach who immediately restored clarity to the group and dedicated a lot of time to the goalkeeper to understand his needs and explain the club's project.

A year later, what seemed strong has become unstable: in Milanello and especially in “Casa Milan” everything is flowing, but in which direction? At the moment it is unknown. Majk Menja is like the financial markets, it suffers from uncertainty, and when there is uncertainty comes losses. And here, Milan risks losing him, who watches everything carefully and thinks mainly about two factors, the Champions League and Allegri. For Mike it must be both.

The Frenchman has never hidden his desire to be at the top of European football, and the renewal of his contract until 2031 shows that he will reach those heights with Milan. But in his eyes, the lack of the Champions League this season should remain an exception. Don't be fooled by the latest renewal. When he signed, there was no doubt that Milan would finish at least in fourth place, nor that with Allegri an important cycle had begun. Now those doubts exist.

CAPTAIN'S PROJECT AND STRIP

Allegri was very close to him in the summer of 2025. At one point, the Frenchman had said “yes” to Chelsea, and if Milan had reached an agreement with the English club, today we would no longer be talking about Mike. Then Allegri intervened, who made it clear to the leaders that to rebuild a winning cycle they must rely on players like Menja. At the same time, he worked directly with the player, explaining his importance and confirming that he would wear the captain's armband.

The highlight was the arrival of Claudio Filippi, Allegri's former colleague at Juventus, with whom Menja immediately earned professional respect. His performance returned to high levels. Now, however, the "mermaids" from England are back. Chelsea have never forgotten Menja, although for now it is only an informational phase. But depending on the end of the season, the situation may change. However, Menja's balance may not be completely tilted towards Chelsea. The Premier League is tempting, but the Champions League will not be played there next year.
