With his penalty save against Paulo Dybala, Mike Maignan is back to being decisive.
The Frenchman continues to be targeted because of his contract situation, with Milan still planning to make an attempt in the coming weeks to see if they can convince their captain to accept the renewal offer and stay with the Rossoneri.
At the moment, though, the chances of Maignan staying are very low. Still, the club remains hopeful that the situation could change, since in the next few weeks anything could happen. Allegri is expected to play an important role in this matter, as his influence might be key in convincing the Frenchman.
Maignan, renewal complicated: possible replacements
Milan’s priority remains Mike Maignan, and the club will do everything possible to keep him. If the player closes the door on staying, the management will move for a new goalkeeper. The club is already monitoring several names to avoid being caught unprepared, as relayed via Milan News today.
Right now, three goalkeepers are on Igli Tare’s list: Elia Caprile of Cagliari, Zion Suzuki of Parma, and Noah Atubolu of Freiburg. The latter has conceded 15 goals in 13 matches this season and recorded 5 clean sheets, three of them in the Bundesliga.
