Mike Maignan has still not renewed his contract with AC Milan, and this has reportedly alerted Manchester United and Chelsea to a cut-price deal.
According to CaughtOffside, United and Chelsea are ‘on alert’ as an ‘opportunity seems to have opened up’ to sign Maignan in the summer. Sources have told them both clubs are ‘long-term admirers’ of the Frenchman and also want a new starting goalkeeper.
The fact that his contract runs out in just over 12 months means that Milan could make him available for a fee of around €40m. Aston Villa ‘could also be one to watch’ with the Rossoneri ‘increasingly open to letting him leave for the right price’.
Contract talks have stalled between Milan and the former Lille man after some sub-par performances this season, despite talks of a verbal agreement having been reached months ago which was then never turned into signatures.
A recent report from La Gazzetta dello Sport stated that the Diavolo have in fact lowered the offer they previously put forward because of the concerns about Maignan’s form, from €5m net plus bonuses to around €4.5m.
They also claimed that the club are looking at a number of potential replacements both domestically and overseas, with one of them being Lille’s Lucas Chevalier.
40 m is too much for him.. With one year left and this season he is underperforming.
Just a reminder, Inter sold Onana for 50m
Yeah but to Man Utd. Those guys are idiots.
Didn’t you read the title?
yups, and inter got it for free. but he reached champion league final, he had longer contract, and the most important is his perfomance was great. this season maignan makes many mistake thats way management lowered their offer for his salary..
With one season left on contract?
I have always believed this would be the right price for a goalkeeper. He should be moved on, not because he isn’t talented, but I believe his value to this team will be dropping every season from here on out.
So go ahead and sell, and if possible, get another goalkeeper while this team develops another goalkeeper in-house. There are quite a few who can step up in 2-3 seasons if they are loaned out.
Emi Martinez from Aston Villa is a good option. He is older, but he is fit and is not as injury-prone.
Mike still has 5 more good years to offer top football to Milan just like Théo they should renew we need longevity in that team
Idk gk is probably the most replaceable position
I think we could replace him with Ramsdale (should be quite cheap since Southampton will religate) and get Goretzka as a defensive midfielder (should also not costs since he will enter the last year of his contract and only plays about 40% of the available minutes).
froza milan ,i believe so much in milan when it about goal keeper scout let him go let try others
It is time for capital gain. We are cheap club, we can not afford his salary demand. Time to sell or he will go free next season.
Should have sold him, not Tonali
