"AC Milan's priority remains to extend Mike Maignan's contract, but they do not want to be caught unprepared if he decides to leave. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Milan have seven months to try and figure out who will be their starting goalkeeper next season. It has been up in the air ever since it became clear that negotiations for Maignan's contract renewal were not proceeding smoothly."
"So, what's Milan's priority? Renewing Maignan's deal, without doubt. Mike is a man with a lot of pride, and it won't be easy to convince him to forget the tensions of the past negotiations and sign a multi-year extension. A few months ago, Milan chose not to sign off on the deal at €5m per season, considering that Maignan was coming off two seasons significantly below his level. However, the first few months under Allegri have been impressive, worthy of Mike's Scudetto-winning performance."
"If he does decide to leave then the management cannot afford to be left empty-handed. They could focus on a high-profile goalkeeper like Alisson, who has one more year left with Liverpool and a salary of €8m net per year. The alternative is that they could choose a goalkeeper on the rise. Two names in this regard are on their list: Robin Risser of Lens and Berke Ozer of Lille."
AC Milan prioritizes extending Mike Maignan's contract while preparing for the possibility of his departure. Maignan's contract expires in June, leaving seven months to determine the starting goalkeeper next season. Milan experienced a similar contract situation with Gianluigi Donnarumma. Earlier negotiations stalled after Milan rejected a €5m-per-season proposal due to concerns about Maignan's recent dip in form. Maignan has improved under Allegri, attracting renewed interest and potential approaches from clubs such as Chelsea. Milan's alternatives include a high-profile option like Alisson or rising talents Robin Risser and Berke Ozer, both playing in France.
