Maignan ‘very, very happy’ after signing Milan renewal: “I want more trophies”

Mike Maignan has stated that he is ‘very happy’ after signing his contract renewal with AC Milan until 2031.

The long-awaited news became official last night as Maignan put pen to paper on a new multi-year extension. A few months ago such an outcome seemed unthinkable, but talks progressed positively particularly in recent weeks.

It was back in December that La Gazzetta dello Sport broke the news about a turning point in the negotiations between the club and the Frenchman. Maignan did a U-turn thanks to the work of Massimiliano Allegri and the goalkeeping coach Claudio Filippi.

Having signed his five and a half year contract, Maignan spoke to the club’s official channels and a teaser of the full interview was published last night, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

“I’m very, very happy. It’s a renewal we’ve been waiting for for a long time: it took patience, but we got it. I’m very, very happy. I’m happy in Milan, with my family too,” he said.

“I wish many good things for the Milan fans and for my family too. I want more trophies, more successes. I’ll be here with my family for another five years. To all the Rossoneri fans: look, I’m still here! Forza Milan.”
