"It would be easy to say that Maignan's renewal is a simple case. He either signs or he doesn't. However, that is very far from the truth, and Milan probably wish it was a case of will he or won't he. Extending the Frenchman's contract allows for greater flexibility moving forward, whilst retaining one of their most important leaders. However, if he is to leave, the Rossoneri must find an apt replacement, whilst also considering others. It is an incredibly tense situation."
"Rumours in recent months have not given much reason to be hopeful, but things seem to be turning. In the last few weeks, optimism has been growing, and at Milanello, it is now 'palpable', as Quotidiano Sportivo (via MilanNews24) writes. After the Supercoppa, the Diavolo will attempt to strike, and 'close' the situation altogether. Of course, this would be ideal in either situation. If he extends, fantastic. However, if a renewal cannot be achieved, they will then have six months to sort out the future."
AC Milan faces mounting pressure to resolve Mike Maignan's contract renewal, which affects leadership and squad planning. Extending the French goalkeeper's deal would preserve a key leader and provide roster and strategic flexibility. If Maignan departs, Milan must identify an appropriate replacement and consider wider adjustments. Recent rumours had been discouraging but optimism has increased in recent weeks, creating a palpable atmosphere at Milanello. The club plans to take decisive action after the Supercoppa, aiming either to finalize an extension or, failing that, to use the following six months to arrange the club's future.
