Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan currently wants a big salary upgrade, if he is to sign a new deal at the Serie A giants in the near future.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via TMW) state today that Maignan’s future at Milan remains uncertain, especially due to the interest of Bayern Munich as they seek a long-term replacement for Manuel Neuer. Maignan will be able to earn a big salary if he joins Bayern and Milan want at least €100 million to sell him but they initially need to address the renewal situation.
The Frenchman wants a big raise in his salary. He currently earns €3.2 million per season and Milan know that he wants much more, with Samuel Chukwueze and Ruben Loftus-Cheek earning more than him already.
In Maignan’s mind, he wants to double his wage right now. And that is complicated things for Milan, whose highest earner is Rafael Leao and he earns €7 million including bonuses and he is considered an ‘exception’ in their wage budget. Talks between the Rossoneri and Maignan’s entourage will come to a head soon and talks will be held in a more advanced manner at that point.
