Over the next eight months, there are going to be a lot of rumours about goalkeepers, with Mike Maignan’s future at AC Milan looking clouded.
The situation with Maignan is not getting any better. In fact, it is probably getting worse, whilst he progresses, which is certainly a conundrum. Milan want the extension now – one that they didn’t want a few months ago – and he no longer does, or at least not yet.
Until there is a definitive no from either party, an extension could happen, and the Rossoneri are waiting to play certain cards. Ultimately, just because he can start talking to others in January does not mean he necessarily will.
In the meantime, several alternatives have been linked to the club; most have been young ‘keepers who are ready for the next step as starters. One option is Guillaume Restes, the French goalkeeper from Toulouse, and he spoke to MilanNews about the rumours.
“After the silver medal at the Olympics, do AC Milan now want me too? My life is changing. But I’m at Toulouse now and I’m focused on Toulouse. Rumors like those about AC Milan are part of football. My focus, however, is solely on this club. We’ll see what happens next…”
