Milan monitor replacements for Mike Maignan exit
AC Milan are preparing for a possible exit of Mike Maignan amid uncertainty over his future. The France international goalkeeper is reconsidering his position at the Rossoneri after a disappointing season.
Maignan is waiting for the FIFA World Cup to conclude before finalizing his decision. His agent Daniele Longo has begun exploring options in the transfer market to secure the best possible outcome.
AC Milan have compiled a shortlist of potential replacements. Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu has drawn attention from the club’s scouting team. Cagliari’s Elia Caprile has also impressed during evaluations.
Atubolu’s contract with Freiburg expires in 2027, but the Bundesliga club have already signed a replacement, signaling a potential move. AC Milan are currently in the evaluation phase, with the situation expected to develop over the coming weeks.
AC Milan’s proactive approach is seen as a strategic move. Replacing Maignan, a former Lille standout, will be challenging, but the club aims to identify a younger goalkeeper with top-level experience.
Both Atubolu and Caprile fit Milan’s criteria. Caprile has established himself in Serie A and has grown into a leadership role, making him a viable option for a high-profile transfer.
