Following his match-winning penalty save against Inter in the derby, Milan are actively trying to secure the future of goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who has also attracted significant interest from foreign and domestic rivals, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The report confirms that Maignanโs contract is set to expire in the summer of 2026, prompting the club to reopen dialogue with the French international.
Milanโs proposal for a contract renewal is already on the table and involves extending his deal by two or three further seasons. Critically, the offer includes a substantial salary increase, moving his net annual earnings from the current โฌ3.2 million to โฌ5 million. The newspaper notes this is a generous offer for a player over the age of thirty, but one Maignanโs performances have warranted.
Despite Milanโs efforts, the resurgence of โMagic Mikeโ has drawn intense attention from elsewhere. The most dangerous competition is coming from the Premier League, where Maignan is highly sought after. Furthermore, the report highlights a domestic threat, noting there is an active transfer track that could see him move to Juventus in Turin. The clubโs attempt to renew is complicated by this competition, as Maignanโs top priority is reportedly to win major trophies.
