With the summer transfer window moving towards closing, the AC Milan management – in particular CEO Giorgio Furlani – is beginning to think about some crucial renewals.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) reports this morning, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao are among the most important players in the squad to have committed their long term future to the club, but a couple of others must follow.
Mike Maignan’s renewal has always remained on the table, but returned to being a topical discussion after Thibaut Courtois’ injury. Real Madrid enquired about the Frenchman but the Rossoneri shut the door, so they went for Chelsea’s Kepa.
Maignan remains among the most courted goalkeepers in Europe and Milan want to extend his deal until June 2028 with a pay rise from his current €2.8m net per season to double it, knowing that elsewhere he could get much more.
Then there is Rade Krunic. Fenerbahçe came in and offered him a big pay rise but they are not able to match Milan’s requests with regards to transfer fee.
He has an agreement expiring in 2025 which will be extended, with his salary doubled from the current €1.5m net he earns.
