As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Pianeta Milan), the French goalkeeper is keen to sign a new contract with Milan but he wants to see a considerable pay increase.
His current deal will expire in June 2026 which means there is no immediate rush, and he earns €2.8m net per season right now.
Contract extension talks had already started with Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara and he is a player that the club knows they simply can’t lose.
The hitch is that Maignan would want at least €8m net per season. That is more than Rafael Leao earns, a salary which Milan consider to be the ceiling.
There is no suggestion of a rift between player and club at this stage but some negotiation will clearly have to take place. Maignan is said to be happy with the training structure that has been created for goalkeepers at Milan, with coaches Tony Roberts and Luigi Ragno coming in.
