Mike Maignan will leave Milan at the end of the season, barring any major surprises. His contract expires on 30 June 2026, while negotiations over a renewal have been stalled for months and are unlikely to resume, even if there is talk of one last attempt to convince him to stay. Thus, the Rossoneri will have to search for his successor in the coming months. Among the players being monitored is Suzuki, who has had a good season so far with Parma. The Japan international is admired because of his modern way of playing the role, his mentality and his athleticism.

Jonas Urbig started in goal for Bayern Munich's 3-o win at Borussia Mönchengladbach over the weekend in what was only the keeper's second match of the season for the German Rekordmeister. Manuel Neuer was fit and available, but the idea from Vincent Kompany and his coaching staff was to give Urbig minutes ahead of the midweek DFB-Pokal clash against FC Köln since Neuer will be serving a red card suspension for that match from the straight red he was shown in last season's round of 16 loss to Bayer Leverkusen.
