The January transfer market has started, and almost all the talk is now about signings and departures. At AC Milan, however, another topic is heating up: the contract renewal of Mike Maignan, whose deal expires on June 30, but who will be free to negotiate with another club in just a few weeks.
What is AC Milan's offer to Maignan?
As reported this morning by Corriere dello Sport, these are crucial days on this front. After months in which it seemed he had closed the door on staying at Milan, the French goalkeeper has now opened up to an extension, but a meeting with his agent is needed to discuss all the financial details. The club’s offer is as follows: 5 million euros net, plus 2 million in bonuses, until 2030. Milan’s management is confident they can reach a signature soon, but effort is needed from all parties.
Renewal talks resume:
After months of deadlock, during which contact between the parties had completely stopped, the situation now seems to be thawing. Talks have resumed, and the hope is to reach an agreement quickly. A positive outcome is far from guaranteed, as the matter remains delicate, but there is definitely more confidence than a few weeks ago, when the parties weren’t even speaking. Milan’s financial proposal for Maignan is significant and would make him the highest-paid player in the squad, on par with Rafael Leao.
