"The management are now awaiting a response from the captain, but while his decision to leave Milan in search of a new opportunity was a given previously, the situation is now more fluid. One might almost say it's reversed. The management, Massimiliano Allegri, his staff and Maignan's team-mates are doing everything they can to convince him to sign. The Frenchman is flattered by the constant expressions of esteem he's receiving and while this doesn't mean he'll definitely stay, the dialogue is ongoing."
"Everyone is playing a key role in the mission to persuade Magic Mike. The club have offered him a top-level salary, the same one that prompted Leao to renew his contract: €7m net, including bonuses, per season. This is lower than the former Lille player's asking price (€7.5m with bonuses on top), but the goalkeeper would join the Portuguese as the highest-paid in the squad. To narrow the gap between offer and demand without breaking the cap, the club are keen to work on bonuses."
Milan have delivered an offer to Mike Maignan to extend his contract, which runs until June 30. The proposed salary is €7m net per season including bonuses, matching Rafael Leao as the club's top earner. The offer is below Maignan's reported €7.5m asking price, so the club aim to bridge the difference through bonuses tied to performance and Champions League participation. Massimiliano Allegri, club management and team-mates are actively persuading the captain to sign. Maignan feels flattered by the esteem shown and is reflecting on a consequential career choice. Talks are ongoing and a meeting is planned soon.
