“I had no role in Maignan’s arrival in Italy. There were many rumors, I simply told him it would be good for him, especially in a team like Milan that has been reborn in recent seasons. Maignan is a hard worker, very ambitious and always has a great desire to improve. He will do very well in Italy.”
