Lorenzo Torriani could be in for a significant promotion at AC Milan, taking on a more senior role amid the Mike Maignan uncertainty.
After being linked with a move away from the club, including to Chelsea, Maignan ended up staying at Milan. Along with Max Allegri, he agreed to continue at least until next summer, when his contract with the Rossoneri will expire.
Milan are hoping that the renewal talks can be revived at some point during the current season. At the same time, they need to keep all options on the table as the Frenchman could decide to say goodbye. Then, a Plan B would be needed.
Senior role considered
According to MilanPress, in addition to Maignan, Milan are carefully evaluating the future of their youngster Torriani. The 20-year-old is one of the Rossoneri’s most promising players, but currently, he’s merely the third-choice keeper in the first team.
As such, Milan know that they will need to make a ‘proper’ decision regarding Torriani next summer, and it will hinge on Maignan. If the Frenchman were to leave, then Rossoneri could give Torriani a more senior role, alternating with a more experienced keeper between the sticks.
Another season as a third-choice keeper would be a waste, so if Maignan were to renew, then Milan would consider a loan or maybe even a permanent sale of Torriani.
