What will Mike Maignan’s future be?
With his contract expiring at the end of this season, in about seven months, and the Rossoneri captain’s performances this year returning to stratospheric levels, the question is legitimate. The obvious answer, based on what has happened since February, is clear: Maignan will leave Milan at the end of this year. At the same time, there are factors that give the Rossoneri universe reason for hope, above all the team’s return to competitive levels and the influence of Max Allegri.
Being a highly debated topic in recent hours and days, Corriere della Sera today dedicated a piece in its sports section and examined the issue in depth. The headline is clear and speaks volumes: “Maignan, the renewal knot. Milan ready to reopen the file to avoid ending up like with Calha.” The agreement had been reached between winter and spring, before a sudden reversal from Casa Milan, with management playing down the salary figure. A risky move that upset Maignan and his team of agents. According to reports, Inter is also considering a summer approach; for this reason, the Rossoneri are motivated to try to resolve the situation and avoid a hypothetical new “Calhanoglu scenario.”
