SoftFootball can confirm that AC Milan are waiting for Mike Maignan’s official response after presenting a new contract proposal, with the club growing increasingly confident about keeping their first-choice goalkeeper.
Maignan’s current deal runs until June 2026, but Milan are keen to avoid any uncertainty heading into next season, as shared by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account.
Fabrizio Romano posted:
AC Milan are waiting for Mike Maignan’s official decision after new contract proposal.
Current deal expires in June 2026 but AC Milan are pushing, optimistic to keep Mike.
Up to the player with final feedback soon.
His importance has only grown during a strong Serie A campaign that recently saw the Rossoneri edge Cagliari 1-0 to move to the top of the table, a result that once again underlined the team’s defensive stability, as reported by SoftFootball.
Talks between Milan and Maignan’s representatives have intensified in recent weeks, and the atmosphere around negotiations is said to be positive. The club have put forward a revised offer believed to be worth between €5.5 million and €5.7 million net per season, with bonuses that could push the total package closer to €7 million.
That figure would place Maignan among Milan’s top earners, reflecting his leadership and consistency. Milan’s ambition to remain competitive has also been clear in recent dealings, including the loan signing of Niclas Füllkrug, another move covered by SoftFootball.
The proposed extension would likely keep Maignan at San Siro until 2029 or possibly 2030, a clear signal that the club see him as a long-term pillar of the project. While no signatures have been made yet, there is growing belief that a verbal understanding is close.
Milan are pushing to wrap things up quickly, especially with Maignan eligible to speak with foreign clubs from February 2026 if no deal is agreed. Inside the dressing room, Maignan’s influence is not in doubt. His relationship with Massimiliano Allegri and his role as a leader have weighed heavily in the club’s favour.
Milan have also stressed their sporting direction, pointing to consistency in results and improved squad depth. A similar commitment to key players has been evident elsewhere, with Fikayo Tomori also discussing his own contract situation as Milan continue to plan ahead.
Interest from clubs such as Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Juventus has not disappeared, but Milan remain optimistic. For now, the final decision rests with Maignan, and the club expect his feedback soon.
