AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan is reportedly close to a new deal until June 2031 at roughly €5.7m net per season. For bettors this reduces the chance of a Premier League transfer — avoid markets on Chelsea/Man Utd signing him and consider Milan clean-sheet or goals-against markets as more reliable short-term bets.
Maignan edging towards long-term AC Milan contract
Mike Maignan is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract with AC Milan that would extend his stay until June 2031. Talks between the player’s representatives and club executives have restarted and are said to have made significant progress in recent days, closing the window on a summer free-agent exit.
Contract terms and financials
The proposed deal is understood to be worth around €5.7m net per season, putting Maignan on comparable wages to some of Milan’s top earners. That figure is well below what several Premier League clubs were reportedly prepared to offer, but it aligns with Milan’s wage structure and long-term planning.
Transfer market implications
With a new contract likely, the probability of Maignan moving to clubs that had shown interest this season — notably in England — drops sharply. That should calm the goalkeeper market and reduce speculation-linked premium pricing for replacement signings this summer.
On-field impact and betting angles
Keeping Maignan preserves continuity at the back for Milan and supports the club’s defensive stability. For punters, this news suggests: - Avoid transfer markets that list Maignan to Premier League clubs. - Consider backing Milan in clean-sheet or goals-against markets while his presence secures the goalkeeper position. - Short-term odds on Milan conceding heavily due to a keeper departure should narrow if the deal is confirmed.
Player background and context
The 30-year-old France international arrived at Milan in summer 2021 from Lille for about €16.4m, stepping in after the previous first-choice goalkeeper left the club. Since then he has established himself as a key figure at San Siro, known for shot-stopping, distribution and organizational leadership from the back.
What to watch next
Official confirmation will likely follow once signatures are exchanged. Bettors and transfer-watchers should monitor club announcements and registered contract filings for verification before placing long-term wagers tied to transfers or squad changes.
