With Mike Maignan’s future looking shaky, talks of replacement goalkeepers are rife, and one route would lead AC Milan to Brazil.
Until Maignan’s future is decided, there will be a lot of reports for both sides of the coin. He will either renew or he will leave and someone else will arrive. The current landscape is pretty simple, even if it is massively complex inside.

At this moment, it seems that Milan have put all their eggs in one basket, with reports suggesting that nobody will be spoken to until Mike makes a decision. However, they may be tempted to with news from Brazil today.
Maignan’s replacement?
As the Brazilian outlet UOL writes, Corinthians are not shutting down the transfer talk regarding their star shot-stopper Hugo, and they have even admitted that there is a possibility that he will leave the club in 2026.
It goes beyond that, though. Seemingly, they are holding out for an offer from the Rossoneri, and then they will decide what to do from there. The Diavolo have already expressed their interest to the Brazilian club, with the goalkeeper’s representatives also aware of the situation.
There is no price yet, but the feeling is that an offer ‘should arrive soon’. The club are aware that things will only formalise with Maignan’s situation decided, as well. In other words, there is no rush.
Imagine spending 💰 to a random GK with no EU Football exp to replace your best GK for a long time.
That 12m can go to his contract renewal right?
Could be the next Di*da
Nope
Calamity-Dida? Who only had a handful of good matches and dozens of horrible ones? Yeah, we don’t want that.
I said di*da, not dida, it might refer to dilda, or dild* 😁
Dida was a random goalkeeper when Milan signed him. The fans didn’t like him and forced him to errors, then he was loaned out. After he returned from his loan, he became a Milan’s great and helped Milan and the Brazilian team win a lot
Dida done great, but w/out Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, Billy, Stam, Kaladza & Serginho, he just average GK
Was good during CWC, him and Barboza were the 2 players that did keep up with European teams
2 articles ago.. “Milan is not looking for other goalkeeper” … 2 articles later…. “Milan is ready to make offer for young south american goalkeeper” 🤣
Have you not noticed that newspapers contradict each other so much? 😂
No clue about this keeper, but if we are getting a young keeper with no Italian experience, wouldn’t Torriani be better?
I’d rather keep Magic Mike for another year, though
