Mike Maignan is reportedly set to sign a long-term Milan deal worth about €5m per season until 2030, with agent fees the final sticking point. Betting impact: punters may back Milan in low-scoring markets, favour clean-sheet bets or under 2.5 goals, and expect shorter odds on Milan defensive props while Maignan remains between the posts.
Mike Maignan close to long-term AC Milan deal as agent fees remain final hurdle
Mike Maignan is on the brink of committing his future to AC Milan, with negotiations reportedly focused on agent commissions before a contract is signed. The experienced French goalkeeper would extend his stay at the club through 2030 under the proposed terms.
Contract details and financials
The new agreement under discussion would reportedly pay Maignan around €5m per season plus performance add-ons, a sizeable rise from his current €2.8m salary. If completed, the deal would make him one of the highest-paid players at the club alongside Rafael Leao. Maignan’s existing contract runs out this coming June, so a new signature would secure Milan’s number one well into the next decade.
On-field form this season
Maignan has been a defensive cornerstone, conceding just 17 goals in 21 appearances across all competitions, keeping 10 clean sheets and saving two penalties. His current form underpins Milan’s defensive stability and explains the club’s urgency to retain him.
Negotiations: agent fees the sticking point
Club and player are reportedly aligned on the main contract terms; the remaining issue centres on the agent’s commission. Milan’s hierarchy is keen to conclude negotiations before the current deal expires to avoid losing the goalkeeper for free or entering a late scramble in the transfer market. Team management and coaching staff have been involved in persuading Maignan to stay.
What this means for AC Milan
Securing Maignan long-term would preserve continuity at the back and allow Milan to focus resources elsewhere in the squad. It signals club ambition to protect key assets and maintain competitive momentum domestically and in Europe.
Betting implications and market impact
Maignan’s likely retention strengthens betting cases that favour Milan in low-scoring outcomes and clean-sheet markets. Punters might increasingly back under 2.5 goals in Milan matches, place clean-sheet wagers for Maignan, or expect shorter odds on Milan defensive props. Markets tied to goalkeeper performance and defensive stability are likely to react to news of a confirmed deal.
