Until a few weeks ago, everything pointed towards Mike Maignan leaving at the end of the season, with his current contract set to expire on 30 June. Today, however, there is great confidence and optimism that an extension for the Frenchman can be reached very soon. The signatures are not there yet, but the goalkeeper is increasingly close to staying at Milan.
What is missing for Maignan's contract renewal with AC Milan?
Corriere della Sera reported this morning that in recent hours his agent, Jonathan Kebe, has been in Milan and has held several meetings with the club. The financial agreement between the parties has already been reached: including a fixed salary and bonuses, Maignan will earn seven million euros per season until 2031. So what is still missing for the long-awaited green light? A final agreement on the agent’s commissions. We are not at the signing stage yet, but there is strong optimism at Casa Milan.
The Frenchman is still decisive:
Meanwhile, Maignan continues to be decisive on the pitch. If Milan left the stadium in Como on Thursday with all three points, they also owe thanks to their captain, who made several crucial saves that kept the Rossoneri alive. After the match, the Frenchman, who is increasingly committed to the Milan project, was repeatedly praised by Max Allegri, who admitted that the victory would not have come without him: “If there are players worth 100 million and players worth one million, there must be a reason,” commented the Livorno-born coach, who has been pushing for Maignan to stay for some time.
