While Milan and goalkeeper Mike Maignan have reached a verbal agreement to extend his contract until 2028, the Rossoneri are reportedly hesitating to put pen to paper.<\/p>\n

Milan have been in talks for months with the France international over a contract renewal at San Siro, with recent reports suggesting they have agreed on a new \u20ac5 million-per-season deal that would make him one of the club\u2019s highest earners.<\/p>\n

Despite this understanding, the official announcement has been postponed due to both strategic and on-the-pitch considerations.<\/p>\n

Milan hesitate on Maignan\u2019s renewal: the reason behind the delay<\/h2>\n

As reported by Pianetamilan, transfer expert Matteo Moretto explained that Milan are first waiting to appoint a new sporting director, who must align with their economic strategies before giving the green light to this significant financial commitment.<\/p>\n

Secondly, the Rossoneri are reportedly concerned about Maignan\u2019s recent form and are therefore considering whether the goalkeeper is truly worth the investment.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old was reportedly among the players under scrutiny by coach Sergio Concei\u00e7ao, with recent reports suggesting that the manager considers him overweight and believes it is affecting his performances.<\/p>\n
