Moretto explains why Milan are 'in a hurry' to close Maignan deal 'as soon as possible'

"AC Milan are hoping to clear up the doubts surrounding AC Milan's future sooner rather than later, according to Matteo Moretto. Even a few weeks ago it felt like Maignan was destined to depart Milan at the end of the season when his contract expires. However, more optimism has filtered recently about the possibility that the Frenchman might change his mind."

""Clearly, Milan want to try to close the Maignan deal as soon as possible, because Maignan can already sign for another team if he wants to, from 1 February, so Milan are in a hurry and wants to close the deal as soon as possible, but there is no real deadline," he said."

"Maignan was again excellent in the game against Fiorentina this afternoon, making some big saves to keep his side in the game, in particular one on Moise Kean. For the Rossoneri, the hope will be that they can lock down their captain long term."

AC Milan want to resolve goalkeeper Mike Maignan's contract situation quickly as his current deal expires at the end of the season and he can sign elsewhere from February 1. Talks over a renewal have recently rekindled and there is growing optimism that Maignan may change his mind about leaving. The club credits Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare and the staff for progress in negotiations. Milan are in a hurry to finalise terms but have not set a hard deadline. Maignan produced an excellent performance against Fiorentina, making key saves including one on Moise Kean, reinforcing hopes to secure him long term.
