"AC Milan are in the market for a new goalkeeper to potentially replace Mike Maignan, and a name in the Bundesliga stands out. According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have left the door very much open regarding Maignan's contract renewal, especially after his recent decisive performances. However, there are no ongoing negotiations, and the management are aware these could be his final few months at the club."
"How do you replace Maignan? The mission promises to be very complicated given the Frenchman is one of the world's best goalkeepers on his day, and finding a replacement of his calibre is difficult. Milan intend to focus on a young, talented profile with significant room for growth. Cagliari's Elia Caprile has been closely monitored and remains a strong candidate, as does Toulouse goalkeeper Guillaume Restes."
"The new name is Noah Atubolu of SC Freiburg. He stands 1.90m tall and weighs 78kg, and he came through the youth academy at his current club. Atubolu became the starter for the first team in 2023-24, after three years with Freiburg II in the third division (like Milan Futuro). Last season, he enjoyed a remarkable campaign, culminating in a fifth-place finish in the Bundesliga."
AC Milan are searching for a new goalkeeper to potentially replace Mike Maignan, with contract renewal not currently negotiated but still possible. Management acknowledge Maignan might leave in the coming months despite recent decisive performances. Milan prefer a young, talented goalkeeper with room to develop. Candidates monitored include Cagliari's Elia Caprile and Toulouse's Guillaume Restes, while Parma's Zion Suzuki is losing ground due to cost and limited development. Noah Atubolu of SC Freiburg has emerged as a target; he became Freiburg's first-team starter in 2023–24 and earned a Germany senior call-up after impressive performances.
