After the Coppa Italia exit, Milan return tomorrow against Torino for one of the last matches of the year. The new year is close and the club has several unresolved issues, including the future of Mike Maignan. Tuttosport reports this today and notes that the situation is on hold.
Igli Tare repeated his stance some time ago, saying, “At the start of the season we made a pact, we move forward together without putting pressure on each other.” His words aimed to calm early noise and push every discussion to a later stage, but time is moving and his contract is still expiring.
The newspaper points out that the more time passes, the less confidence there is about a renewal. Milan are studying the market because they need to review every scenario. Several names are on the list, from Elia Caprile to Zion Suzuki, and also Noah Atubolu from Freiburg and Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid.
Lunin remains a profile to track. His contract runs until 2030, he has played little this season and Real Madrid want around 25 million euros. He had already been linked to Milan after Donnarumma left, but nothing happened. A new development might come through Jorge Mendes, who represents the Ukrainian goalkeeper and also Pervis Estupiñán. His strong relationship with Milan could help the move.
His strong connection with Luka Modric might also support the talks. These days are filled with reflection at Milan and everything will depend on how Mike Maignan’s situation evolves.
