The news is now confirmed, with only the final details and the last meeting missing before it becomes official: Mike Maignan will renew his contract with Milan until 2031 and, like his teammate and close friend Rafael Leão, will become the highest-paid player in the squad. It is a true statement signing by the Rossoneri, especially considering the situation just a few weeks ago, which seemed beyond repair. The agreement with the captain and goalkeeper should also be seen as a cornerstone, as Maignan’s renewal will usher in a new era of contract extensions at Casa Milan.
This morning, Quotidiano Sportivo focused precisely on this topic and redefined Milan’s current priorities:
"Milan, the priority is to keep the stars. Maignan opens the era of renewals."
From there, others will follow, above all one name: "In the spring, it will be Pulisic’s turn." The American currently has a contract running until 2027, with an option for an automatic one-year extension. The subtitle also explores other issues, including the transfer market: "For the French goalkeeper, the hurdle linked to the agent’s commissions has also been overcome. In January, attention will turn to the search for a defensive ‘braccetto’ and a right-sided central midfielder."
