"As Quotidiano Sportivo report, on one bank of the Naviglio is the candidate for FIFA's 2025 best goalkeeper award, with six league titles under his belt, spanning Switzerland (Basel), Germany (Bayern Munich), and Italy (Inter) - Yann Sommer. Opposite, the Milan captain, named the number one of the number ones at the last European Championship - Mike Maignan. Both are leaders, to say the least, but both have contracts that expire in June 2026."
"In Maignan's case, what weighs heavily is the lack of a renewal that was in the air months ago, but then remained in a drawer because of the club's decision. In the summer, Chelsea's offer was rejected by the management. There's no friction between the Rossoneri and the player, to whom Massimiliano Allegri also shortly afterward handed the captain's armband. There's also no talk of a future together. For now, then, the focus is on the pitch. However, the transfer market remains in the background."
"Parma's Zion Suzuki is the first name on the list, even if the 23-year-old Japanese player recently underwent surgery to stabilise the scaphoid and third finger of his left hand. It is an injury that will mean he'll return to the pitch between February and March 2026. Elia Caprile is another name both admire. The 24-year-old started at Chievo, then moved on to Leeds, then Pro Patria (Serie C) and Bari (Serie B), and is gradually and steadily establishing himself in the top flight."
Yann Sommer is a candidate for FIFA's 2025 best goalkeeper award and has six league titles with Basel, Bayern Munich and Inter. Mike Maignan is Milan's captain, was named top goalkeeper at the last European Championship, and has a contract expiring June 2026. Maignan's renewal stalled after months of expectation; Chelsea's summer offer was rejected, yet no friction is reported. Sommer and Maignan will meet next Sunday at San Siro at 20:45 CET amid transfer uncertainty as both clubs plan succession. Targets include Parma's Zion Suzuki, recovering from hand surgery with a projected February–March 2026 return, Elia Caprile and Marco Carnesecchi.
