The newspaper adds that 25-year-old Lille goalkeeper Mike Maignan is ready to sign a five-year contract worth €3m net per season, therefore a gross commitment for Milan of €25.5m. This is because the €3m net can be doubled for gross, but after two years the tax relief system in Italy kicks in which means a 50% cut on the amount paid in tax, therefore €12m for the first two years plus €13.5m for the final three. Milan will have to deal with the French club in order to complete the deal.
No pressure it’s good that they have aquire such deal but let hope Gigio stays so they shouldn’t give up on him yet.
