The contractual situation of Mike Maignan (30 years), the captain and goalkeeper of AC Milan, seriously agitates the transfer market in Europe. With the current understanding valid until the summer of 2026, but with the negotiations for extension in Impas, Juventus, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are ready to fight for the French signature, considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Juventus sees in Maignan an opportunity to bring a top player without paying a transfer amount next summer. The club in Turin wants to add experience and quality in the defensive compartment and believes that the French international is perfectly suited to the desired profile, according to the Gazetta Dello Sport,.
The old lady is trying to take advantage of the blockage between Milan and Maignan, who have not been able to reach an agreement to extend the contract. In addition, Juventus would be willing to offer him a considerable salary, in line with his status as captain and leader to the Rossonera team.

Chelsea has already tried this summer to bring Mainan to Stamford Bridge, but AC Milan refused the offer, considering it essentially in the project of the new coach Massimiliano Allegri (58 years).
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich also entered the wire, seeing Manuel Neuer's potential successor (39), whose future is uncertain after several injuries and fluctuations of form.
