AC Milan and Mike Maignan have reached a verbal agreement over a new contract, which is expected to be signed in the coming weeks. For the goalkeeper, a significant pay rise has been offered by the club.
Milan have been working on the renewal of Maignan and Theo Hernandez for quite some time. While the situation is unclear for the left-back, the goalkeeper has seemingly already made a decision. Indeed, he looks set to stay at the club.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic confirmed yesterday that negotiations are underway and as reported by Matteo Moretto today, Maignan has given his ‘ok’ to the renewal. In fact, a verbal agreement has been reached and the parties are expected to meet ‘in the coming weeks’ to ratify the deal and sign the contract.
The figures of the new deal will be €5m plus bonuses until 2028 with an option for an additional year. In other words, the new contract has the same figures as the one Rafael Leao signed in 2023, although the bonuses might differ a little.
Considering Maignan currently earns just €2.8m per year net, the renewal is a big step forward for the goalkeeper. The slight drop in form recently has perhaps helped as well, since the interest abroad has cooled off a little.
Assane Diao, only a month in serie A and already has 4 goals, vs Milan, Juventus and now Fiorentina. Another great signing by Como for only 12 mil.
He is indeed doing a fantastic job for them and had noticed their current lead hopefully they can keep it up and win the match. Como might actually become an interesting team next season if they can avoid relegation this year.
