"Maignan was all set to leave Milan in the past year, I know that was the intention, then two things happened: Chelsea didn't make the right offer and Massimiliano Allegri intervened, he spoke with Maignan and there was an immediate connection between the parties,"
"I know they told each other to focus on the pitch, not on the contract or on the fact that the deal is expiring, they're moving forward well. From what I understand, there are no particular open discussions, also because the boy evidently didn't like Milan's behaviour last year."
"They offered him a certain amount of money on the contract and after a few months and a few too many mistakes, the amount, from what I understand, was slightly modified. I think the boy is tough and rigid from that point of view."
"He's not tough and rigid at Milanello, he's regained a smile that he didn't have before. Mike has been happy since this summer, he says hello, something he did less last year (laughs), he spends time with the fans, he spends time with the people, Milanel"
Maignan's contract with AC Milan expires at the end of the season and renewal talks appear stalled. Milan are assessing potential replacements, including Parma's Zion Suzuki, amid concerns over the Frenchman's future. Maignan nearly left last year after Chelsea interest did not materialize and a new offer process faltered, but Allegri's intervention created a stronger connection. Contract negotiations soured previously after a modified offer and perceived mistakes, leaving Maignan rigid on terms. Maignan's mood has improved since summer, he is more engaged with fans and staff and appears happier at Milanello.
