AC Milan value Mike Maignan highly and want to keep him within the team with a new improved contract. The negotiations, however, will not be easy.
According to what is reported by Calciomercato.com, the Frenchman's demands exceed the current offer sent by the club which is set at 4.5 million euros plus bonuses. For context, the former Lille shotstopper currently earns 2.8 million euros per season.
There are margins to continue negotiating, as well as the willingness of all parties involved in the negotiation. But at present, Maignan's renewal is quite uphill because Milan is not inclined to further increase the salary proposal. The Rossoneri club has rather rigid parameters and does not want to risk a chain effect.
This season, we've hardly seen the real Maignan. There have been a few too many injuries, coupled with a series of errors that are not typical of him. However, Milan will not be swayed by a bad season; Mike remains a goalkeeper who makes a difference. The interest from Bayern Munich is there and should be considered, even if no official approaches have been made.
For Moncada and Furlani, it would be less painful and complicated to part with the former Lille player compared to Hernández and Leão, provided a check of at least 70 million euros arrives. However, the priority remains the renewal despite all the difficulties involved.
