Mike Maignan’s future is still entirely to be deciphered. The Rossoneri goalkeeper was very close to leaving the club during the special transfer window held in the first ten days of June.
The Milan captain, whose contract expires in 2026 and who has had no renewal offer on the table since January—when an agreement was practically in place—had accepted Chelsea’s advances, but the English club was ultimately unable to find common ground in negotiations with the Rossoneri.
