"From Feyenoord to Turin: Mike is no longer Magic, even with the OK on the renewal"
this is the headline from La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning about Mike Maignan, who is not going through a great run of form—in fact, he has been making mistakes uncharacteristic of him. The latest came yesterday at Torino’s home ground, where the French goalkeeper misjudged a clearance, hitting Thiaw and causing the German defender’s shocking own goal. Just a few days earlier, there was another costly error in Rotterdam against Feyenoord, which played a decisive role in Milan’s elimination from the Champions League.
Despite these mistakes, Maignan is on the verge of renewing his contract with Milan. There is already a preliminary agreement for an extension, including a significant salary increase to €5 million per season. All that remains is the official signing and announcement, which are expected soon.
