On June 6, according to Italian media reports, AC Milan goalkeeper Meinion is seeking to leave the team, and his next stop is likely to be the Premier League giant Chelsea. The latter is also very interested in the French national goal, which is at the golden age of his career, and is ready to start transfer negotiations. In the summer of 2021, Maldini took Minion to the San Siro Stadium for only 16 million euros. In his first season as a team, Meinion showed his superb competitive level. He played 39 games that season, helping the team win the Serie A championship, and even making fans forget Donnarumma.

Although Menion suffered from injuries later, he was still the first goalkeeper in the coach's heart. Compared with Donnarumma, Menion not only has excellent save ability, but also has good shot output. In many cases, he can even play the role of an offensive initiator. Since the 2021/22 season, Minion has assisted for three consecutive seasons, which is an amazing stat for a goalkeeper.

However, after Maldini left Milan, Redbird Capital's attitude towards the French goalkeeper has always been uncertain and ambiguous. When Meinion suffered an injury or performed poorly, Redbird Capital immediately had the idea of ​​selling him. As Menion recovered, Redbird Capital began to negotiate contract renewal with the players. In the past season, Menion played 53 games, starting every game, and the number of appearances in a single season reached a career high. Redbird Capital started negotiations on renewal with Menion early. The latter also has feelings for Milan, so the contract renewal negotiations are progressing very smoothly, just a short time to "stop".

However, in the second half of the season, with Milan's record falling sharply and Minion's occasional mistakes, Redbird Capital suddenly stopped negotiations for renewal. After Milan completely missed the European war next season, Menion became one of the players that Red Bird Capital has cashed in. As the saying goes, "I will be focused on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." The Hongniao Capital's rebellious behavior made Meinian very dissatisfied and he had the idea of ​​leaving the team.

Red Bird Capital is very willing to sell Meinion and the price is priced at 30 million euros. However, Chelsea is unwilling to pay such a high price, after all, his contract is only one year left. The Blues gave no more than 20 million euros, and there were still quite a difference between the two sides. But for Hongniao Capital, they must solve this problem this summer, either renewing the contract or selling it, otherwise they will face the dilemma of losing both people and money next summer.

Hongniao Capital, which pays more attention to economic interests, only wants to cash out quickly to alleviate fiscal pressure. But in fact, it is not easy to find a goalkeeper who is comparable to Menion now, and it will cost a lot of money. As Milan's quasi-new coach, Allegri looks at this deal from a competitive perspective. He admires Menion very much and allows French goalkeepers to stay in the team.

Chelsea are putting pressure on Redbird Capital, hoping to finalize Menion's transfer before the start of the Club World Cup. If Redbird Capital really refuses to make concessions, then they will not continue to persist. Now facing Hongniao Capital is a multiple-choice question with few options but very complicated. On the one hand, they want to cash out Meinian, but they cannot exchange for more funds; on the other hand, their backfire may make it more difficult to renew Meinian. It has to be said that all this is caused by Hongbird Capital.
