39 games missed and a €40m valuation – Milan reflecting on Maignan’s future

AC Milan would evaluate offers that arrive for goalkeeper Mike Maignan during the summer transfer window for two reasons above all, a journalist has claimed.

Maignan’s name has been circulating in the media more than usual over the past few days, starting with Saturday’s game against Juventus which he was forced to withdraw from at the last minute after sustained an adductor strain during the pre-game warm-ups.

Then, a couple of reports have since suggested that the Frenchman will soon reach a crossroads in his Milan career because of his contract situation and the fact that there are doubts about both his form and fitness.

Now, the journalist Manuele Baiocchini has given his take on Maignan’s situation during an update that was broadcast live on Sky Italia, and his comments were relayed by MilanNews.

“Mike Maignan has missed 39 matches since he became a Milan player, therefore around 30% of the team’s overall appearances and almost an entire season’s worth between injuries and various suspensions,” he said.

“This season he has played more, in fact collecting 40 appearances but he has already missed seven games and with this injury he will miss the next 2-3 league matches.
