The swing season of the goalkeeper has changed the strength positions in the negotiation: with the new offer, definitive, Mike would earn one million more
Who is Mike Maignan really? Magic Eagle, the magic eagle, who flies from one pole to another against Fiorentina? Or what Isaksen lands in the area and breaks the illusion of the Rossoneri comeback on Lazio? There are many examples relating to the last season that make Mike a very normal goalkeeper. There are other features in the most recent games that instead suggest super: the penalties with France in the challenge to Croatia, the interventions on Kean, Beltran and Gudmundsson to keep the rhythm against Fiorentina. So it is difficult to answer the initial question. Maignan did so after the last game of the championship: “Magic Mike has never gone, as you know in life they can be tall and low, and so it happens for a goalkeeper. I never let me go, a moment can happen but I always tried to stay concentrated and confident about my work”. The difficulties were there – also recognized by the person concerned – but they would now seem overcome.
negotiation
–
At this phase of technical uncertainties, the negotiation for the renewal of the contract expiring in 2026 was inserted. A general agreement had been found in recent months, before a chain of errors: against Cagliari, Como, Juventus in the championship, not to mention the weaker ring, namely the oversight against the Feyenoord who compromised the Champions League. So, here is the braking and the deal that returns under discussion. When he was in vogue Mike had come to ask for the same Lea contract to stay the guardian of the Rossoneri poles: a non -supported request. Mike himself then reduced the claims. Until today, when the parties have reversed: it is the club in a force position, and the extension proposal does not go beyond 4.5 million per season. The current engagement is 3.5: however a much richer offer. This is, take or leave. Difficult to think of sitting again and reviewing the terms: if Maignan signs he will remain at Milan until 2028 or 29, depending on the possibility of adding an additional annual renewal option. Otherwise in the summer clubs and agents of the player could look around: paid “just” thirteen million from the lilac, Mike still guarantees a heavy capital gain.
future

A great ending will not allow the goalkeeper to make new claims. The club’s offer is now clear and in any case consistent. It is the final proposal: if Mike accepts the signature he can arrive immediately. The team of the future will rest on Reijnders in the median and Pulisic in attack: with Maignan at the top and gratified by a new Rossoneri contract could find another column. After the big numbers against Fiorentina he had been dribbling on the future theme: “Here I am well, I do everything for the shirt, but I don’t want to talk about the contract. Milan and the fans deserve more. My personal situation is not the most important thing”. To then “betray” seeing again Rossoneri. “We work every day by always giving our best, I say it with great sincerity. In the future we will take the experience of this season and grow even more”. At Milan for four seasons, Maignan has ended up in the sights of critics together with the other senators (Theo, Lea, Tomori) guilty of an undertone season. There is still time, even more so with the renewal, to return that of the Scudetto season or the Champions Semifinal. When it wasn’t just Mike, but Magic Mike.
