Mike Maignan wants to renew his contract with AC Milan, but the management already have a target in mind in the event of no agreement.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), Maignan expects new talks with the directors soon to resolve the renewal issue. In the last discussion between parties, a basic agreement on the salary had been reached, but a dip in form forced CEO Giorgio Furlani to pause and reflect.
Maignan’s entourage are anxiously awaiting a signal from Casa Milan, also because their client will soon enter the final 12 months of his current deal, which expires in June 2026. A decision will have to be made, especially in view of the summer.
Milan have the option to retain Maignan with a salary that is close to €5m net per season, including bonuses, or they will be forced to sell him so as not to lose him on a free transfer. And there are admirers abroad, especially from the Premier League.
The Frenchman’s priority remains Milan: he wants to stay even without the Champions League. In the meantime, Milan have been trying to sound out other goalkeepers in recent weeks to protect themselves in the event of a failed extension.
Marco Carnesecchi of Atalanta is a name that is very popular among the scouts and the directors, but for now no official contacts have been initiated. The 24-year-old established himself as La Dea’s starter last season, and is now regarded as one of the best in the league.
No European football for Milan next season , 5m salary maybe it’s too much. Milan have no money.
Milan have money but they aren’t wanna spend if there isn’t UCL money but renew Mike they should
Milan never learned for past few years, with low transfer fund, low budget for players wages. Milan must learn from Ajax, use Youth sector to build the team. Youth sector must have same tactical, same playing systems, same playing philosophy. When senior team get injure, youth sector can replace. When senior team sold or end of contract youth sector can promote. Caused youth sector can fast addaptation, cause have same tactical, playing systems, playing philosophy. Milan can also get profits for selling player. I told
these for many times. But there’s no progress in Milan right now. For next coach i think Ten Hag, De Zerbi can bring new situation, caused they can use youngster, n work with limited transfer fund. And i can speak bold that Cardinale have no vision in soccer industry, he more care instant profit, he do not care about progress, everything need progress, player is human not robot.
Atalanta isn’t going to sell Carnasechi for less than 35-40m so you might as well sign Chevalier or Restes or Lammers
We already have his replacement: Torriani. Let’s see if the coach is too dense to give him a try in these final meaningless league matches.
Exactly! Carnesecchi would be great but way too expensive for this club.
If Milan management have a brave, Milan youth sector have lots of talent. Torriani GK
Gabbia-bartesaghi, Vittorio magni at the defences
Zeroli, scotti, liberali at midfielders
Camarda for striker
The talents already there. Save Milan money and slim Milan wage budget.
You can see Barcelona, ajax and united in the past.
Just trust the process
Milan have some good to produce great GK. Toldo, seba Rossi, galli, abbiati, plizzari, donnarumma in the past. I think milan have Iapo Nava and Torriani now…
Milan should renew Magic Mike. While not a vocal leader he is a professional and we are better off for now with his as GK. Bringing in a new goalkeeper would not improve the negative attitude in the locker room that extends to the field. Extend his contract for a year to give more time to Torriani. We need players that place the team above their own needs. That goes for starters as well deputies.
yep.. keep being cheap then blame it on SD after he gone free & call the player mercanaries
