Maignan’s Milan Future in Doubt After Contract Talks Stall

Reports point to Chelsea returning, leaving Milan wary of a 2026 expiry.

Overview

  • Negotiations over a new deal have been static for months and the chances of an extension are described as very low, per Calciomercato.com via Football Italia.
  • Maignan is under contract until June 2026, creating the risk that Milan lose him for free if no agreement is reached.
  • From January, the France international can speak to foreign clubs about a pre-contract for summer 2026, according to CaughtOffside’s read of the situation.
  • Milan rejected a reported €15m approach from Chelsea in the summer, and multiple reports suggest Chelsea could revisit a move as early as the next window.
  • Despite the uncertainty, Maignan remains Milan’s starting goalkeeper under Max Allegri and serves as club captain.
