AC Milan have an important decision to make as uncertainty mounts over Mike Maignan’s future, with several European clubs closely monitoring his situation.
According to Calciomercato, clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus are keeping a close eye on the France international as he enters the final six months of his contract with AC Milan.
Maignan, now 30, has been one of Milan’s most important players since joining from Lille and has established himself as one of Europe’s elite goalkeepers.
He has been a central figure in Milan’s domestic and European ambitions in recent seasons.
His leadership from the back and consistency in big matches made him a fan favorite at San Siro and a key figure in the dressing room.
AC Milan want to offer Mike Mengnan a new contract
Recognizing his importance, Milan want to avoid losing him on a free transfer and are preparing a proposed new contract that is thought to be worth around €5.5 million per season.
Club executives believe the offer is a strong statement of intent and reflects Maignan’s status as one of Serie A’s best-performing goalkeepers.
However, despite these efforts, the France international has yet to declare whether he is ready to commit his future to the Rossoneri.
Although he is understood to be happy at Milan and grateful for the faith shown by the club, it is difficult to ignore the continued interest from abroad, particularly from the Premier League.
Chelsea and Manchester United want a new goalkeeper
Chelsea and Man United will assess their goalkeeping options over the next two transfer windows, while Juventus are monitoring the situation closely in case an opportunity to strengthen their squad arises.
Maninan’s representatives will carefully evaluate Milan’s offer in the coming days, taking into account sporting ambitions, financial terms and long-term stability.
Maninan is entitled to discuss pre-contractual agreements with overseas clubs, so Milan risk losing a cornerstone of their squad if progress is not made soon.
Of the clubs currently monitoring him, Chelsea have a long-term interest in signing him.
