"A common thread unites AC Milan and Inter with Sunday's derby approaching: both are in the market for a new goalkeeper. As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report this morning, barring any sensational surprises Milan will be without Mike Maignan and Inter will be without Yann Sommer. Both are on contracts that expire next June, with no signs of a renewal. Negotiations over Maignan's extension have been stalled for some time."
"The two Milanese clubs are evaluating several potential goalkeepers, starting with Cagliari's Elia Caprile. They signed him from Napoli last year for €8m, and the Italian now valued at least triple that after a great start to the season. Another player that intrigues both Milan and Inter is Noah Atubolu, a 23-year-old German shot-stopper currently plying his trade at SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. His cost is 'capped' in a way: he has a release clause of less than €20m."
Both AC Milan and Inter face goalkeeper uncertainty with Mike Maignan and Yann Sommer on contracts expiring next June and no renewal signs. Maignan's extension negotiations have stalled and his departure appears likely at season's end. Clubs are evaluating targets including Cagliari's Elia Caprile, signed from Napoli for €8m and now valued at least triple after a strong start. Noah Atubolu of SC Freiburg attracts interest with a release clause under €20m. Leeds' Illan Meslier is another option as he has lost his starting spot and Leeds may sell in January to avoid a free exit.
