"AC Milan will make every effort to keep Mike Maignan, and in the coming weeks they will attempt to work towards a contract renewal. As Corriere dello Sport (via PressReader) report this morning, Maignan's contract expires in seven months, but Milan are looking for the right path to convince him to extend his deal. Massimiliano Allegri will play a key role in this effort."
"At Milanello, the coach speaks almost daily with Maignan about the present and the future, praising him at every opportunity. Allegri considers Mike's value invaluable: he sees him as a natural leader, and there will always be room for players like Maignan in his squad. In fact, back in the summer when Milan were in talks with Chelsea over the Frenchman, Allegri consistently urged them to keep him."
"Another secret at Milanello is the presence of goalkeeping coach Claudio Filippi. Allegri specifically requested the former Juventus man because he's among the best at his job, and the results are starting to show. Maignan seems more responsive between the posts and has also increased his penalty save rate. In just a few league games, he was the undisputed star against Roma and Inter, saving two spot kicks from Paulo Dybala and Hakan Calhanoglu, two penalty specialists."
AC Milan aims to renew goalkeeper Mike Maignan's contract, which expires in seven months. Massimiliano Allegri is actively engaged in persuading Maignan to extend, speaking with him regularly and praising his leadership. Allegri previously pushed the club to retain Maignan during transfer talks with Chelsea, and sporting director Igli Tare also acted to secure him for at least a year. Goalkeeping coach Claudio Filippi, specifically requested by Allegri, has helped Maignan regain responsiveness and improve his penalty save rate. Strong coach-player chemistry, improved form, and renewed fan enthusiasm are being used to convince Maignan to stay.
