A lot can be said about the situation between AC Milan and Mike Maignan, and a lot has been said. Despite this, we are no closer to a solution.
With every passing week, the decision to not renew Maignan’s contract earlier this year looks worse. Hindsight is a gift, and Milan are unfortunate to have it now. However, the writing is not yet on the wall.
Until a new deal is signed, or whilst his contract situation remains the same, he is a Rossonero and there can be hope of him agreeing to stay. Perhaps it is beyond hope at this point, but it is true for now.
Maignan must stay
Ordine spoke to Pressing about the situation and explained why it is so important that Maignan renews, as MilanNews relays.
“There are two schools of thought: one fueled by Maignan’s entourage and one by the relationship between the club, the coach, and the player. Tare said they made a pact.
“I think Milan has every interest, including financial, in keeping Maignan. Also, because if you have to go and get another goalkeeper of his level, you have to spend a significant amount .”
Given that the Rossoneri want a young keeper who is ready for the step up, they will have to spend the big bucks, and without a sale, replacing Maignan becomes a financial burden.
