"Mike Maignan's contribution was crucial during AC Milan's win over Roma, but his future remains a thorn in the club's side. As Calciomercato.com report, Maginan's penalty save on Paulo Dybala in the closing stages of Sunday's 1-0 win at San Siro was a hugely significant one that reignites the debate about his future beyond this season, given his deal runs out next June."
"Allegri is 'obsessed' with the Frenchman and remains hopeful of a new agreement with Milan to continue working together for many more years. As things stand, however, the signs suggest that Maignan wants to try something different. Discussions with the CEO Giorgio Furlani stalled a year ago following an unfulfilled promise to reach a final agreement within a short timeframe and under the required conditions. This upset the former Lille man, who seemed to make up his mind then."
"Igli Tare's work - as Matteo Gabbia highlighted - is part of the reason why Milan have started the season so well. The sporting director practically lives at Milanello and is always in close contact with the players. He's also spent time with many of them to try to resolve issues and demonstrate the management's support for the team. Now his goal is to try to mend the rift with Maignan, which is described as 'difficult but not impossible'."
Mike Maignan produced a crucial penalty save on Paulo Dybala to secure AC Milan's 1-0 win over Roma at San Siro. His current contract expires next June, creating uncertainty about his future after five influential years including a Scudetto and a Supercoppa Italiana triumph. Massimiliano Allegri remains eager to extend Maignan's stay and has a strong relationship with him. Contract talks with CEO Giorgio Furlani stalled a year ago after an unfulfilled promise, prompting Maignan to consider other options. Sporting director Igli Tare is actively trying to reconcile the player and the club.
