"The idea of losing Mike Maignan on a free transfer is difficult enough to digest, but the possibility of losing him to a major rival has now emerged. The stand-out performance in Sunday's derby win over Inter came from Maignan. He made an amazing save in the first half to deny Lautaro Martinez, and then inside the final 20 minutes he kept out Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty to preserve the clean sheet and the lead."
"Meanwhile, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Juventus are a club to look out for in the Maignan sweepstakes. Matteo Moretto also confirmed this indiscretion during his most recent update on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel. "I can tell you, adding another detail: the Premier League remains very attentive, but keep an eye on Juventus too. The Bianconeri have started to have this idea in mind in case Maignan doesn't renew."
Mike Maignan produced decisive saves in the derby, preserving a clean sheet and the victory for AC Milan. Maignan's contract expires in a few months and renewal talks have stalled after a reported €5.5m net per year request. Corriere della Sera reports he will almost certainly leave on a free transfer. Inter view Maignan as a realistic target, while Juventus and Premier League clubs are also monitoring the situation. Oaktree ownership could consider an expensive, short-term signing despite usual transfer preferences. Multiple clubs are preparing contingency plans in case Maignan does not renew.
