"Mike Maignan will continue to defend AC Milan's goal for a while yet, with his renewal to be made official very soon. Back in the summer, it seemed that Maignan would not even stay into the 2025-26 season as he pushed for a move to Chelsea before the Club World Cup, according to various reliable sources at the time. What seemed certain up until even a few weeks ago was that the Frenchman would wind down his deal and leave on a free in the summer, something which stemmed from anger over a renewal agreement reneged upon by Milan earlier in 2025."
"However, in the past couple of weeks there have been more and more positive updates about the idea of Maignan remaining with the club. He has a good relationship with Massimiliano Allegri and Claudio Filippi, the goalkeeping coach, which has seen him get back to his best. Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky report that Maignan will remain at Milan after an agreement was reached to extend his contract."
"The French goalkeeper is expected to sign a renewal within the next 48 hours, so either today or tomorrow. The 30-year-old will be tied to the Rossoneri until 2031, or possibly until 2030 with a club option for a further year. We can possibly expect the announcement before the Bologna game, therefore."
Mike Maignan, who nearly left in the summer after pushing for a move to Chelsea, will remain AC Milan’s goalkeeper following a new contract agreement. Earlier plans had suggested he might let his deal run down and leave on a free due to anger over a reneged renewal offer in 2025. Recent weeks brought positive developments, aided by strong relationships with manager Massimiliano Allegri and goalkeeping coach Claudio Filippi and an improvement in form. Reports from Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky indicate an imminent signing within 48 hours, with a contract lasting until 2031 or 2030 plus a club option.
