AC Milan have some work to do if they are to secure the renewal of Mike Maignan with some of Europe’s top clubs circling, a report claims.
According to TMW, Milan are already looking to the future and are currently trying to secure Maignan with a long-term contract, but the Frenchman is wanted by ‘half of Europe’ and the idea of a sale cannot be totally ruled out.
Paris Saint-Germain will try to sign him with a big offer to Milan as per the source, something that would clearly also affect the future of Gianluigi Donnarumma but a return to the Rossoneri is not on the table.
Chelsea and Bayern Munich are both keen on Maignan too, with the latter having to replace Manuel Neuer when he retires soon. The Blues signed Robert Sanchez from Brighton in the summer, but they seem ready for a new assault for Maignan.
Meanwhile, Milan are working on the new contract to fight off this interest. The idea is to extend his deal until 2028 but Maignan and his entourage are asking for a ‘monster’ salary, equal to the highest paid players in the league.
They want between €7-8m, compared to a much lower offer from the Diavolo at the moment. The ex-Lille man currently earns €3.2m net per season and the management would be willing to double it at most.
Expiring in 2026, there is time to discuss it but owners RedBird Capital will have to speed up the process so as not to create an opening other clubs could exploit.
Sell him. I bet we get close to 80+million. And then get another keeper for 30 and a big name striker for 50
Agree. I feel like at any moment he could go down with another 1-2 months injury.
For sure! You can get a quality keeper for 20/30 Mil. Less salary and then still have a surplus of cash to put into other positions. I think the same with Theo as well. As long as we get Miranda
Maybe he would accept to double his salary with a monster release clause like 100m . If he keeps on playing as well as he has lately then someone will come knocking and if they would be willing to cough up 100m then I think both player and the club would accept. We should be able to get a very competent gk for 20-30m. At the very least I don’t want us to be held hostage like the Donnarumma scenario couple of years back :Þ
PSG should pay 100m euros + Donnarumma.
