The contractual situation of Mike Maignan has captured all the attention in the market. With his link to AC Milan expiring on June 30, 2026, the possibility of him leaving the club as a free agent has shifted from a rumor to a very probable scenario. But could he even leave earlier, in the January window?

The contract crisis: inevitable end with AC Milan?

According to Matteo Moretto, in a video posted on the Italian channel of Fabrizio Romano, negotiations for the renewal of Mike Maignan are completely frozen. The verbal terms reached in February, which included an extension until 2028 and a salary readjustment, were subsequently suspended by the club, for both sporting and economic reasons. The relations between the goalkeeper's camp and Milan are "very cold," according to various sources.

With less than a year remaining on his contract, AC Milan is at a crossroads: allowing their captain to leave for free or opting for an early departure that generates income. Moretto suggests that the most logical move, from Milan's financial perspective, would be to sell Mike Maignan in January, even if the offered amount does not come close to his real market value.

Chelsea lurking in the next market

Chelsea had already shown interest in Mike Maignan during the summer market, with approaches and offers that did not convince Milan. It was reported that the Blues offered between £15 and £18 million, valuations that the Italian club deemed insufficient. Although the dialogue did not progress, the idea that the French goalkeeper would accept a proposal from Stamford Bridge remained alive.

Now, with Maignan's contract entering its final stretch, Chelsea reappears as a natural candidate. Moretto indicates that the English club made efforts both with Milan and the goalkeeper's camp in the summer and that Mike Maignan had given the green light to a hypothetical transfer. The key will be how much Milan is willing to accept in January—and if they agree to a much lower figure than what they deemed appropriate. 

Succeeding Maignan: potential successors

AC Milan has already started outlining alternatives to cover the potential departure of Mike Maignan. Among the names that have surfaced, Zion Suzuki stands out, appearing on one of the club's lists as a possible replacement. The club is also considering internal and external options so that the goalkeeper who accompanies the team in the second half of the season meets the demands of Serie A and future European competitions.

With Massimiliano Allegri at the helm, Milan seeks to ensure stability in the goal area without depending on a late resolution of Maignan's fate. This need could accelerate an operation already in January to avoid being left unprotected by an unexpected departure in June.

Final assessment of a tense relationship

At this point, the likelihood of Mike Maignan renewing his contract with AC Milan seems remote. Sources point towards two dominant scenarios: a departure in January or a farewell when the contract ends in June. The negotiations have not progressed, and the strain between parties is evident. The Rossoneri club aims to extract some financial benefit in the upcoming window before conceding in vain. If the farewell occurs, it will mark the end of an important chapter at San Siro—and Mike Maignan will depart with his sights set on new challenges.
