Deschamps discusses Maignan's renewal and power of clubs: "Influence is less"
"I wouldn't dare say anything about any club [referencing PSG]; they decide, they have the information to decide. Just like us. There have always been exchanges, as in the case of Ousmane's injury. When tests are carried out, they are communicated in both directions. Of course, the interests of clubs and the interests of national teams are not the same. But there have always been exchanges regarding tests and diagnoses. I'm not here to change the medical protocol. Whether clubs can be given more decision-making power than national teams is not for me to decide."
"In the past, I've had players sign contracts during competitions like the World Cup. It's not up to me; it's a matter of discussion with the clubs. Today, the influence is less; I think the players are taking it more calmly. Nonetheless, ideally, sorting out your personal situation before a major competition is the best thing."
Clubs decide and have the information to decide, and exchanges of medical tests and diagnoses take place between clubs and national teams, as in Ousmane's injury. Interests of clubs and national teams differ, and medical protocols remain unchanged with no change in decision-making authority implied. AC Milan requested and secured Adrien Rabiot's stay at Milanello over the break. Mike Maignan's contract situation remains unresolved and could see Milan lose their captain in summer if not settled; a final attempt is underway. Players increasingly handle contracts calmly, though resolving personal situations before major competitions is preferable.
