AC Milan have had a poor season and are out of the Champions League with a pool of death and can only play in the Europa League. At present, Milan is nine points behind Inter Milan in third place in Serie A, and there is little hope of competing for the title. According to Corriere della Sera's Colombo, Milan's contract renewal talks with French international Maignan are at an impasse, and it is reported that Maignan wants Milan's top management to offer him an 8 million euro annual contract. But this season his performances are starting to become less consistent and his form has been hampered by injuries. However, Milan still want to agree a contract extension with the player, although the two sides are currently deadlocked over the issue of annual salary.
With his outstanding performances in Milan, Maignan has replaced the former French international Lloris as the main goalkeeper of the Gallic Roosters. His contract with AC Milan expires in 2026. The Italian government's decision to repeal the growth decree will also increase the cost of the club, and Milan do not want to break the current salary structure for Maignan. After the news of the impasse in the renewal of Maignan's contract with Milan, many giants, including Manchester United, Chelsea Bayern, have thrown an olive branch to the AC Milan main goalkeeper. Although the performance of Manchester United's main goalkeeper Onana has been questioned, Manchester United may not spend a lot of money to bring in a goalkeeper in the short term. Chelsea brought in Alexis Sanchez from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer. The Blues, who are eager to strengthen in other positions, probably will not pay a high price to sign Maignan. Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are currently looking for Manuel Neuer's successor, and if Maignan is unable to renew his contract with Milan, the Rossoneri are likely to sell Maignan at a high price.
Bayern's attacking firepower has increased since the introduction of Harry Kane this summer, and the total value of the team has exceeded 930 million euros. Looking at the entire Bundesliga, only a giant club like Bayern can afford the huge transfer fees and wages of Maignan. Bayern want to sign French international Maignan to succeed Manuel Neuer. Although Bayern Munich finished second in the league ahead of the winter break behind Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga is still unassailable, and Bayern's Maignan can once again challenge for the league title and the Champions League. The lure of a high salary, combined with the glory of the title, prompted Maignan to leave and Milan to surrender to Bayern Munich.
And Maignan is likely to say goodbye to AC Mimilan due to salary issues, just like his predecessor Donnarumma. Due to the gradual decline of Serie A due to economic reasons, Serie A teams have been tightening their belts in recent seasons, and Serie A can no longer reproduce the style of the small World Cup of that year, and step by step it has been reduced to a processing factory for the Premier League giants, earning back the difference to maintain the operation of the club.
