"Milan are stitching back together the rift from several months ago, when renewal talks collapsed due to some back-and-forth over figures. At that stage, the debate was tied to a dip in performance from the France international and Maignan's camp didn't take it well. As the goalkeeper has demonstrated in the first months of the season, there's little to argue about regarding his quality."
"Ultimately, when you have a situation like this one, it takes the headlines. Whilst it may not change the situation, Milan will hope that the reports get more positive, though they are the ones in control of that. At present, it is a mixed bag, with the latest suggestions being that the Frenchman wants an €8 million a year salary - a figure almost double that which was agreed at the start of the year."
AC Milan faces a high-stakes contract standoff with goalkeeper Mike Maignan, driven by reported demands of €8 million per year, almost double earlier terms. Renewal talks previously collapsed after a back-and-forth over figures and a perceived dip in Maignan's form, which his camp reacted poorly to. Recent performances have reaffirmed Maignan's quality, prompting Milan to mend the rift and prioritize his renewal rather than pursuing alternatives. Coach Massimiliano Allegri is applying a persuasion strategy used in past negotiations. If renewal fails, Milan would be left in a difficult position with limited contingency options.
