Milan set to hold talks over Mike Maignan contract renewal

Milan will soon hold talks to tie down goalkeeper Mike Maignan to a new deal till the summer of 2028.

La Gazzetta dello Sport today state that Maignan is really fond of Milan and that is reciprocated by the fans. To make sure that Maignan feels satisfied from an economic perspective, the club and Maignan’s agent will soon hold talks over a renewal.

The current idea is to make sure that he extends his deal till the summer of 2028. His wages are expected to grow by atleast 30 percent and he will go from earning €2.8 million per season to earning €4 million per season. Talks will begin soon, with the player expected to be the second-highest paid player at Milan behind Rafael Leão.

The Frenchman has been vital for Milan since his arrival for Lille and was an important part of their Scudetto-winning campaign. Even this season, Milan were struggling defensively when he was injured and their form improved once the star goalkeeper returned and that says a lot about his presence at the back.
