According to reports, Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are interested in AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
The Frenchman is interested in staying at AC Milan, but a contract renewal has not yet been agreed upon by the two sides. Maignan is asking for a significant pay increase because his current deal with AC Milan expires in 2026, but FootMercato reports that the two parties are still a long way from coming to an agreement. According to the source, the three teams named above are expected to compete for the former Lille player in the summer, but they may need to spend up to €70 million (£60 million or $75 million) to get the goalie away from San Siro.
After Gianluigi Donnarumma failed to satisfy new manager Luis Enrique and was sent off against Le Havre, PSG is now in the running for another AC Milan goalkeeper. Arnau Tenas, the backup goalkeeper, impressed throughout the match. Conversely, Bayern is trying to find a replacement for Manuel Neuer, who is becoming older.
Manchester United, meantime, is searching for new additions after their attempt to buy Cameroonian striker Andre Onana from Inter Milan failed since the player did not live up to expectations under Erik ten Hag.According to Opta, Maignan has the most assists by a goalie since the 2004–05 season and is the only goalie in the top five leagues to have at least one assist in three straight seasons.
According to the source, the goalkeeper wants to stay with the team, so the buying club might have to pay more than just a hefty transfer fee to try to entice him away from Italy.
