**Mike Maignan’s contract will expire next summer and according to a report, one of Max Allegri’s priorities is to renew the AC Milan goalkeeper. In the meantime, Chelsea and Man Utd are watching on closely.**
It’s been a season with some ups and downs for the French goalkeeper, though he finished it well with some very strong performances. Nevertheless, the [**renewal talks with Milan were put on hold**](https://sempremilan.com/maignan-in-balance-milan-pause-reflection) and now, there is no agreement in sight.
According to [Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-allegri-chiede-il-rinnovo-di-maignan-riparte-la-trattativa-80070), the new sporting director will have a meeting with Maignan soon to understand his intentions for the future. Then, Allegri will also speak to the goalkeeper to motivate him to remain in Milan, with the head coach keen on keeping him.
Given that the Rossoneri missed out on European competitions, Tare intends to start the renewal talks from scratch, knowing that the salary perhaps cannot be doubled (currently €2.8m per season) at this time. That being said, convincing Maignan will be key.
The goalkeeper market hasn’t taken off yet, as the journalist concludes, but the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd are ‘waiting for signals’ from Maignan’s contract talks. If Allegri gets his way, the No.16 will remain at the club, but it’s not a guarantee.
