According to Gazzetta dello Sport, contract renewal negotiations between Milan and goalkeeper Maignan have still not made progress.
In the 10th round of Serie A, Maignan saved a penalty kick to help Milan defeat Roma 1-0 at home. He was also elected as the best player of the game. However, the French goalkeeper's contract will expire next summer, and Milan fans hope that Maignan can renew his contract. Maignan remains the team's leader on and off the field and one of the key players in the game. Whenever Maignan performs well, people will mention the issue of his contract extension.
In fact, this summer Milan was preparing to sell Maignan, who had only one year left on his contract. At that time, Maignan was very close to joining Chelsea, but the two clubs failed to reach a transfer agreement, so Maignan stayed in Milan. But so far, there has been no progress in renewing the contract between Milan and Maignan. "Gazzetta dello Sport" stated that no new news at present is bad news, because Maignan will be free to contact his next employer in January next year.
Milan offered Maignan a new contract expiring in 2028 a year ago, with the annual salary increased from the current 2.8 million euros to 5 million euros, but then Milan slowed down the contract renewal process. Although Milan may still make a final attempt to renew the contract, Maignan now seems more inclined to reconsider contact with Chelsea, while Bayern and Juventus are also paying attention to him. Milan is also looking for new goalkeepers. Sports director Tare is interested in Freiburg's German goalkeeper Artuberu and Parma's Japanese goalkeeper Ayano Suzuki.
