He will stay in Lombardy. Often announced as leaving in recent months, Mike Maignan will extend the adventure at AC Milan, a club whose cages he has protected since the summer of 2021. At the end of his contract next June, the 30-year-old goalkeeper should very soon extend his lease by five additional years, until 2031.
After quickly establishing himself as an executive in the Rossoneri locker room, the French international (37 caps) experienced a more complicated 2024-2025 exercise, marked by unusual irregularity among the last rampart trained at Paris Saint-Germain. Enough to raise the possibility of a transfer in the 2025 off-season, when he was close to joining England to sign up with Chelsea.
A significant salary increase
But Maignan ultimately stayed and found his best level under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri. In the fight to win the second Italian championship title of his career – AC Milan, 2nd, were six points behind Inter Milan at the dawn of the 22nd day – “Magic Mike” was convinced by the salary increase proposed by his managers.
The French goalkeeper should now earn 5 million euros per year (plus bonus), approaching the best salary in the squad, which Rafael Leão currently benefits from (€5.5 million plus bonus).
Since his transfer from Lille, completed for 15 million euros the summer following Losc’s French championship title, Maignan has played 187 matches in all competitions with the Milan team. In addition to the Scudetto in 2021-2022, he also topped his list of achievements with the Italian Super Cup won in 2024.
