Moretto claims Milan are watching Suzuki’s situation amid Maignan worries: “Wasn’t pushing”

There is a chance that AC Milan will lose their goalkeeper and captain, Mike Maignan, next summer, so they need to start assessing options. 

Maignan’s situation is not yet done, for better or for worse. At this point, whether either would be a good thing can be debated, and unfortunately, finding a ‘correct’ answer is impossible right now. In a year, that decision to keep him could look poor if performances are shaky.

Alternatively, they could lose the best Maignan to wear the Milan shirt. It is a risk either way, but talks are going to occur over the next few months, it seems.

The Suzuki idea

Already, ideas are emerging about possible replacements, and with the Rossoneri unlikely to get a fee for the Frenchman, barring a January exit, the investment could be limited, unfortunately. However, some good options could be moved for.

Today, Matteo Moretto took stock of the situation, as relayed by PianetaMilan.

“There was a moment in the transfer window when Milan were scouting for goalkeepers, with Maignan potentially going to Chelsea. Milan and Napoli had Parma’s Suzuki on their list. Conte is crazy about him. Parma always wanted to keep the price high, between €30 and €40 million. Suzuki wasn’t pushing for a sale, and Milan didn’t change their goalkeeper.”
