For yet another time this season, Mike Maignan was decisive yesterday evening against Como. If the Rossoneri managed to conquer the Sinigaglia, a stadium where Fabregas’ team had never lost this season, they owe it mainly to the French goalkeeper’s saves. Even Max Allegri, in his post-match comments, admitted that the team was kept alive by their captain, who made several outstanding interventions, such as the one on Nico Paz at the start of the second half.
AC Milan knows they need to hold on to a player like him, which is why they have been working for weeks on renewing his contract, which expires next June 30. After months of negotiations being on hold, Maignan’s signature has never been so close and could come in the coming days. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, his agent Jonathan Kebe is in Milan and plans to meet the club’s executives to finalize his client’s extension.
What is the commission issue?
A general agreement on the new contract until 2031 has already been reached, based on a salary of 5 million euros plus bonuses, which would make him the highest-paid player in the Milan squad alongside Rafael Leao. The final point to resolve is the commissions requested by the former Lille player’s agent. The goal of the meeting with Milan is precisely to reach an agreement on this aspect as well. After months of silence and pessimism, there is now great confidence surrounding this matter, but until the contract is signed at Via Aldo Rossi, no one intends to celebrate.
