"With both, though, there were issues. With Caprile, the club do not see him as a No.1 just yet, whilst the Diavolo are behind in the race for Atubolu. Making it difficult to see a deal happening, and Calciomercato.com has spoken on this update. Given the freeze between Milan and Maignan is not yet thawing, the club are hoping to find a promising and reliable starter to take his place next summer, if he does not renew."
"Caprile, for the reasons listed, is an unlikely candidate for now, but he will continue to be monitored. Whilst the German is a possible opportunity, ground has to be made in the race for him. So, neither of these primary choices may be acquired next summer at this rate, which could open up a door to Zion Suzuki, or even a stronger push for Maignan's renewal, perhaps. We will have to see, but time is running out for clarity to be found."
Milan face stalled contract talks with Mike Maignan and are exploring replacements for next summer. The club prioritizes a young goalkeeper who is ready for first-team action. Two candidates under consideration are Elia Caprile and Noah Atubolu, but both present problems: Caprile is not yet viewed as a No.1, and Milan currently trail other clubs in the race for Atubolu. The club wants a promising, reliable starter if Maignan does not renew. Caprile will continue to be monitored while Atubolu would require progress in the transfer race. Alternatives such as Zion Suzuki or renewed negotiations with Maignan remain possible as time runs out.
