Maignan’s Milan renewal: A boost for the Rossoneri

Start

The recent derby victory has reignited enthusiasm within the Milan camp, particularly among fans who were disappointed with the team’s slow start under new manager Paulo Fonseca. Now, there’s another reason for Milanisti to celebrate: goalkeeper Mike Maignan is on the verge of extending his contract with the club.

MilanNews report that negotiations between Milan and Maignan’s representatives have been ongoing for several weeks, but recent discussions have brought the two parties closer than ever. An agreement to extend the French goalkeeper’s contract until 2028 is now imminent. The new deal is expected to include a significant salary increase, with Maignan’s earnings set to rise from his current €2.8 million to over €5 million per year.

After a stellar performance during Milan’s Scudetto-winning season, Maignan faced challenges last year. The goalkeeper himself has expressed disappointment with his form and is eager to bounce back. In a recent interview, he acknowledged his struggles, stating that he had lost battles against himself by losing focus on his strengths. Maignan vowed to learn from these experiences and come back stronger this season.

The start of the current campaign has been largely positive for Maignan. Despite a minor error against Liverpool, he has been crucial in matches against Torino and Inter, making a particularly spectacular save to deny Thuram in the derby.

Optimism surrounding Maignan’s renewal has been building for some time. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, during Fofana’s presentation, hinted at the progress being made on contract extensions for both Maignan and Theo Hernandez, assuring fans that everything was under control.
