Maignan and Leao: Two Sides of Milan’s Contract Dilemma
AC Milan currently face contrasting but interconnected situations regarding two of their biggest stars, goalkeeper Mike Maignan and forward Rafael Leao. While the club risks losing Maignan as his contract nears its end, they are simultaneously moving to secure Leao’s future, highlighting the delicate balance of managing key players.
The dilemma traces back to the 2024 European Championship period, when Milan began discussions to extend Maignan’s contract. Initial talks seemed promising but ultimately stalled, creating a scenario where the French goalkeeper could depart once his deal expires.
Learning from past mistakes, Milan has proactively started contract renewal talks with Leao, despite his current agreement running until 2028. The club appears determined to retain the forward and avoid the uncertainty that surrounded Maignan’s negotiations.
Both players were instrumental in Milan’s recent victories, including the 2-1 win over Hellas Verona. Maignan’s critical penalty save and Leao’s decisive assist for Strahinja Pavlovic demonstrated their value on the field, reinforcing why the club is keen to secure Leao while potentially facing Maignan’s departure.
