Moretto: Milan ‘closer to an agreement’ as top-level salary is offered to Maignan | OneFootball

Mike Maignan and AC Milan are in advanced negotiations over a contract renewal and the parties appear to be getting closer, a report claims. Great news for the Rossoneri fans, as the goalkeeper continues to be one of the best in the world.

The renewals of Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan have been in the spotlight for several months now, causing some anxiety among Milan fans. However, at least on the goalkeeper front, the Rossoneri have made great progress and are now close to an agreement.

According to Matteo Moretto for the Daily Briefing, the parties are indeed closer to an agreement but the latter is unlikely to be found in September. Milan consider Maignan a cornerstone of the team and are ready to make him one of the best-paid players in the team.

It will be on the same level as Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez, who make around €5m per year each, and this gives us an idea of what he might earn. In addition to the performances, Milan also appreciate the goalkeeper’s mentality a lot, as Moretto adds.

For now, however, both parties are focused on the upcoming week as Milan will take on Liverpool and Inter. It’s thus only natural that the negotiations have to be put to the side a bit.
