The Mike Maignan situation, when all is said and done, is set to reach the happy ending everyone had hoped for and that, for a certain period, no one, club and player included, seemed to believe in anymore.
The Rossoneri captain and goalkeeper is now just a step away from a full agreement with Milan over a contract renewal. This is also confirmed today by Corriere dello Sport, which devotes a short piece to renewals and the transfer market, headlined with the Milan No. 16:
"Commission agreement reached: Maignan can sign."
In the latest round of talks between Milan’s management and the goalkeeper’s entourage, a definitive agreement was reached on the commissions, always a tricky obstacle to overcome. The very last detail, Corriere dello Sport writes, concerns the contract length: whether to set the expiry at 2030 with an option for 2031, or go straight to 2031. Fine margins of the trade. On the outgoing front, Aston Villa continue to push for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who for now is not open to a move. Allegri, too, would not want to part with him, and only an offer above 15 million euros might begin to make the club consider it.
