Milan confirms Maignan contract extension

A new chapter is opening in Milan's history as the club confirmed on Saturday that goalkeeper Mike Maignan has signed a five-year extension.

AC Milan announced on its official site that they are delighted to extend Maignan's contract until June 30, 2031.

Since arriving at the Rossoneri in the summer of 2021, Maignan has quickly established himself as one of the team's standout stars, praised for leadership, reliability, and a selfless spirit.

His ongoing development has also seen him captain the side when present and remain a central figure for the French national team.

Maignan, who has played 188 matches for Milan, has been pivotal in Milan's Serie A title in 2021-22 and the 2024 Italian Super Cup.

The club said these achievements reflect a personal journey built on perseverance, responsibility, and deep belonging to the Rossoneri colors.

Individually, Maignan was named Serie A's best goalkeeper for the 2021-22 season.

The Milan statement wrapped up by reaffirming that Milan and Maignan are further strengthening their ties with a shared aim of writing new chapters in the club's history.

Punchline 1: With Maignan in goal for five more years, even the balls start thinking twice before they dare to take a shot—nerves of steel, nothing but net.

Punchline 2: Milan’s defense just got a software update—fast, reliable, and stocked with a goalie who never runs out of saves."
