Mike Maignan will continue to defend AC Milan’s goal for a while yet, with his renewal to be made official very soon.
Back in the summer, it seemed that Maignan would not even stay into the 2025-26 season as he pushed for a move to Chelsea before the Club World Cup, according to various reliable sources at the time.
What seemed certain up until even a few weeks ago was that the Frenchman would wind down his deal and leave on a free in the summer, something which stemmed from anger over a renewal agreement reneged upon by Milan earlier in 2025.
Signing imminent
However, in the past couple of weeks there have been more and more positive updates about the idea of Maignan remaining with the club. He has a good relationship with Massimiliano Allegri and Claudio Filippi, the goalkeeping coach, which has seen him get back to his best.
Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky report that Maignan will remain at Milan after an agreement was reached to extend his contract. The French goalkeeper is expected to sign a renewal within the next 48 hours, so either today or tomorrow.
The 30-year-old will be tied to the Rossoneri until 2031, or possibly until 2030 with a club option for a further year. We can possibly expect the announcement before the Bologna game, therefore.
