"Rather than using January to complete new signings, AC Milan are hoping for signatures from some current players deemed very important. Quotidiano Sportivo write this morning that Gerry Cardinale's visit to Milanello after 513 days of absence was an important sign. The owner landed in Italy to stress continuity and unity, in other words the desire to continue on the same course."
"Planning has taken precedence over interventionism. All eyes are on renewals and the main subject of interest is Mike Maignan, whose chances of staying have skyrocketed after the expectation he would leave on a free. The terms of the agreement have been known for some time: €7m net, including bonuses (not that difficult to reach), until 2031. Maignan's demands were slightly higher, but they couldn't undermine his attachment to the Rossoneri, a bond that the presence of Tare and Allegri has cemented."
"He would be paid on Leao's level (€5m plus €2m bonuses for Maignan, €6m plus €1m for Leao). The player is no longer looking around for other clubs, Milan will be his home, the negotiations between the club and agent Jonathan Kebe will come to an end, and everyone will be happy. Niclas Füllkrug, Pietro Terracciano and Luka Modric are also set to leave at the end of the season as things stand."
Gerry Cardinale visited Milanello to stress continuity and unity and the club seeks to lock down important current players. Planning has prioritized contract renewals over new signings, with Mike Maignan the main focus after his chances of staying rose from earlier expectations he would leave for free. Reported terms are €7m net including bonuses until 2031, matching Leão's level, and negotiations with agent Jonathan Kebe are expected to conclude. Niclas Füllkrug, Pietro Terracciano and Luka Modric may leave at season's end; Füllkrug arrived on loan with a €10m purchase option. Decisions will depend on performances and the futures of Nkunku and Gimenez. Christian Pulisic's contract can auto-extend to 2028 with renegotiation planned in spring, and Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also under consideration for new deals.
