"Some fans hadn't even entered San Siro or taken their seats in front of the TV when Maignan made a huge save early on in the win over Lazio, tipping Mario Gila's goal-bound header wide. Milan must have no regrets The match could have gone very differently if Maignan hadn't kept that attempt out, but instead the Rossoneri secured another win and another clean sheet to move back top of the Serie A standings after 13 rounds."
"That intervention reaffirmed that Maignan has 'returned to Scudetto year form'. In 2021-22, it was thanks to him that points were obtained as if they were goals from a centre-forward. There is a problem though: the magic might only be around for a few more months. Milan and Maignan have agreed to coexist peacefully and professionally until June, the month in which the Frenchman's contract expires, and then we'll see where his future lays from 2026-27 onwards."
Mike Maignan produced a huge early save tipping Mario Gila's goal-bound header wide in the win over Lazio, helping secure a clean sheet and three points. The result returned Milan to the top of the Serie A standings after 13 rounds. The intervention reinforced that Maignan has returned to his Scudetto-year form, and recalls how in 2021-22 points were often secured thanks to his performances. A contract situation complicates matters, as Maignan and Milan have agreed to coexist professionally until June when his contract expires. A departure on a free transfer remains likely, prompting calls to convince him to stay.
