AC Milan's Romanian goalkeeper, Ciprian Tatarusanu, has a contract which is due to expire at the end of the season, June 2023. As per multiple reports, the former Fiorentina and Olympique de Lyon's shotstopper might leave on a free. In this sense, the hunt for Maignan's backup should be initiated by the club directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara.
As per Tuttosport, the AC Milan management have set sights on Atalanta's 30-year-old Marco Sportiello. He made 6 Serie A appearances so far. He is appreciated by the Rossoneri. Like Tatarusanu, his contract expires in June 2023.
