Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) talks about this specifically and in particular the situation surrounding Mike Maignan, who has established himself as a leader of the team and one of the best in the world in his position.
The French goalkeeper is considered a fundamental piece of the squad by the management and the staff. His contract expires on 30 June 2026 and the agreement signed in 2021 provides for a salary of €2.8m net per year.
Maignan has a base demand of around €8m per year to extend, which has been communicated through his agents. It is a high amount, which would exceed the top earner at present which is Rafael Leao with his €7m net (including bonuses).
Given that the former Lille man is one of the top goalkeepers in the world and could easily earn a high salary at a Premier League club for example, it will be an interesting negotiation to follow.
