CM: Maignan renewal could be finalised below recent figure ideas – Milan’s reasoning | OneFootball

There are several contract matters affecting AC Milan currently, and the Rossoneri are trying to extend Mike Maignan’s contract soon.

Despite what the table would tell you about this season, there is still a plethora of talent at Milan. Of course, there are also a few world-class talents among this group, which makes the season more frustrating.

Of those players, Mike Maignan’s position is viewed most consistently, with people still ranking him as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, whilst players like Theo Hernandez’s stocks have fallen a little since the end of last season.

With that said, Maignan has still not been the player he was previously, and the Diavolo will find it difficult to match his previous demands for a new contract, considering he has not been as good as in recent years.

As Calciomercato.com reports, the club could not go above a renewal figure of €4.5 million – which is €1m more than the figure which he currently earns per season. Maignan initially wanted a contract like Leao’s, and sought around €6m, so the drop is stark.

However, the club are aware that he wants to continue with the club and his desire to bring the Rossoneri back to the top may have an effect.
