"AC Milan captain Mike Maignan's contract renewal is becoming increasingly complicated, and he is currently destined to leave for free. Despite recent reports suggesting an opening regarding a renewal on the goalkeeper's part, the January window is near. From next month, the Frenchman will be free to sign a pre-contract with a club abroad. According to Corriere della Sera (via Radio Rossonera), the chances of another Gianluigi Donnarumma situation are high."
"That's why the management are already looking around to avoid being caught off guard. Zion Suzuki from Parma, Elia Caprile from Cagliari, Noah Atubolu from Freiburg, and Hugo from Corinthians are the hottest candidates. Lorenzo Torriani is an internal option, one that Massimiliano Allegri likes. Even though discussions have resumed with Maignan, the matter remains complicated. This is also because the agents are pushing for the Premier League, where their client could earn a top salary, much higher than the €5m net per year offered by the Diavolo."
"Compared to a few months ago, the player is more relaxed but also more engaged. Beyond the terrible night in the Supercoppa in Riyadh, the effects are also visible on the pitch and his coach Filippi found the right connection. In the summer, Milan convinced him to say no to Chelsea. His team-mates are also trying to push him to stay, some even via social media like Matteo Gabbia. Sporting director Tare will try until the very end, knowing full well that it will be very tough."
Mike Maignan faces a complicated contract renewal and looks likely to leave AC Milan on a free transfer, with the January window enabling a pre-contract abroad. The club fears a repeat of the Gianluigi Donnarumma scenario and is already scouting replacements including Zion Suzuki, Elia Caprile, Noah Atubolu, Hugo, and internal option Lorenzo Torriani. Negotiations have resumed but agents are pushing for a Premier League move with earnings well above Milan's reported €5m net offer. Maignan appears more relaxed and engaged on the pitch, teammates are urging him to stay, and sporting director Tare will persist until the end.
