The market comes first, but building the new Milan for the next season also involves confirming some elements of the squad. Regarding renewals, as explained this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the most delicate situations certainly concern Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez, both expiring in 2026.
The two French players are key pillars of the Rossoneri team, and therefore their extensions are a priority for the club.
In addition to extending the duration of the contract, both also want an increase in their salary, and in this regard, it will be necessary to understand what the players' demands will be and also how far Milan can go.
Furthermore, there is also pressure from some top European clubs that would like to snatch Maignan and Theo from Milan.
OTHER RENEWALS - In addition to the two French players, there are also other players waiting for renewal: one of these is captain Davide Calabria, whose contract expires in 2025, and he also aims for a salary adjustment (currently earning 2.2 million euros per season).
In 2026, the contracts of Yacine Adli and Matteo Gabbia will also expire, but extending with them doesn't seem too complicated, especially when compared to the negotiations for the renewal of Theo and Maignan.
