Inter are reportedly ‘dreaming’ of signing AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan on a free transfer at the end of the season.
According to Corriere della Sera via FCInterNews, the Rossoneri captain could sever ties with the club next summer.
Maignan’s contract at San Siro runs out in June 2026, and a contract renewal seems a long way off.
Despite wearing the captain’s armband, the Frenchman’s salary requests have deterred Milan from intensifying extension talks.
Inter Dreaming of Signing AC Milan Star Mike Maignan Next Summer
Mike Maignan is reportedly seeking a substantial pay raise to commit his future to the Rossoneri.
However, Milan has deemed his €5.5 million wage demands excessive.
Therefore, contract talks have hit a standstill, heightening the likelihood of a summer exit.
Meanwhile, Inter are keeping close tabs on the 30-year-old, who was brilliant in Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina.
Indeed, Maignan made numerous vital saves in Milan’s narrow 1-0 win, including a crucial stop to deny Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty.
Though his age doesn’t fit Oaktree’s new transfer policy, there’s no doubt that he would be an upgrade on Yann Sommer.
Each year we hear about us dreaming of a handful of high quality players only to end up with either garbage or mid-table quality
Why would Maignan want to join a club with a loser management and coach?
Go for it, but I don’t think Milan would want to sell him to us. Otherwise we would strengthen our team.
