Mike Maignan has signed a new contract with AC Milan that will keep the French goalkeeper at San Siro until 2031, the Serie A giants confirmed on Saturday.
Italian media reported that Milan have almost doubled Maignan’s annual salary to five million euros, ensuring the captain remains insured.
“AC Milan is pleased to announce the extension of Mike Maignan’s contract until June 30, 2031,” said Milan, currently second in Serie A.
Maignan says he is happy to work with coach Massimiliano Allegri, who joined Milan in May 2025.
«He is experienced and level-headed, he knows how to manage his group of goalkeepers. Working like that is much easier. I don’t want to make comparisons, but we get along well and he knows how to deal with me,» Maignan said in December.
The deal comes after the 30-year-old rediscovered the form that earned him the nickname ‘Magic Mike’ when he replaced Gianluigi Donnarumma between the sticks in 2021.
Just a few months ago it looked like he would definitely leave at the end of this season when his contract expired, with poor performances and a series of injuries playing a role in the breakdown in communication with the Milan hierarchy.
The sole remaining star of the team that won Milan’s most recent title in 2022 appeared to have reached the end of his time in red and black as the seven-time European champions dropped to eighth in Serie A last season and failed to qualify for continental football.
But Maignan is back to his best and Milan went into the weekend five points behind leaders and local rivals Inter in the race for the Scudetto.
Milan conceded 17 goals in 22 league matches. Maignan has nine clean sheets and has saved two penalties.
Allegri’s team will play against Bologna on Tuesday.
