The finish line is now in sight. Only the signature is missing, but Mike Maignan’s contract renewal with Milan is effectively in the final stages. After months of talks and discussions, the Rossoneri are ready to secure their captain, one of the pillars of Massimiliano Allegri’s side and a key figure in the dressing room. There is strong optimism at Via Aldo Rossi, and the official announcement could arrive in the coming days, confirming the shared desire to continue together.
Decisive meeting and final contractual details
In recent weeks, negotiations have seen a decisive acceleration, helped by a key meeting between Milan’s management and the entourage of the French goalkeeper. That summit resolved the outstanding issues related to commissions, allowing the parties to find the right balance. Now only formalities remain before the new contract is signed. The final detail still under discussion concerns the length of the deal. Maignan could extend his stay until 2030 with an option for a further season, or sign directly until that date. Either way, the substance does not change: Milan’s captain has chosen to stay and to continue his Rossoneri journey, as relayed via Milan News today.
Change of course and technical project: Maignan at the heart of Milan
Maignan’s decision is the result of a long and not always straightforward process. In the summer, the feeling was that a departure was possible, but the consistent work of Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri changed the outlook. Day by day, Milan rebuilt certainty and trust, leading to the goalkeeper’s definitive change of course.
From a financial perspective, the club made a significant effort. Giorgio Furlani put forward the maximum offer, bringing Maignan onto the same level as Rafael Leao, with a net salary of €5 million per season plus bonuses. The renewal also sends a strong message of technical continuity and ambition. Allegri wants to build a stable, winning Milan around his leaders, and Maignan is set to remain one of the symbolic faces of the club’s present and future.
