AC Milan, underwent a rapid overhaul in the summer, replacing most of the players in their starting eleven. This was due to the side having an average eleven, finishing ninth the season before. This came as they had found what they believe to be their manager for the future, Massimiliano Allegri.

This overhaul has been successful for the Rossoneri, thanks to some new signings especially in midfield. But, most of the improvement from Milan this season has been from the players they kept. Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, and Mike Maignan have been in the three leaders to step up for Milan this season.

Mike Maignan has only conceded 17 goals this season, as his defence improves his form has as well. This has lead to him to being rewarded with a contract extension. Maignan managed to turn the form around enough where Milan, will make the move to extend his contract.

This comes from reports from Fabrizio Romano via his youtube channel in Italian. Maignan has agreed the deal with Milan, all that is left is him signing the paper. Maignan is set to sign a deal which will keep him in Milan until the end of the 2030/31 season.

This will keep him in Milan, until he is 35-years-old. While this is old for outfield players, for goalkeepers they don’t take the same physical toll. Maignan could play at a high level up until the age of 35 if not longer. He will also earn a reasonable middle ground in salary for both parties.

Milan and Maignan looked to have huge differences over wages, which led to him being linked to other clubs. Bayern Munich and Juventus where the team he where closest to, but he will stay in Milan. Maignan is set to earn 5 million euros per season, with an additional two in bonuses.

This will be a short term, deal to allow the both more time to decide their future. Vlahovic will earn roughly seven million euros per season.

The last time the Azzurri tasted glory was in 2021, in their Euros win in London. However, the saddest part of that tournament was the story of Leonardo Spinazzola for the Azzurri. Spinazzola was on track to be in the team of the tournament for Italy, until disaster struck against Belgium when Spinazzola was forced off the pitch due to injury.

Medical tests discovered that Spinazzola had torn his ACL against Belguim. This would see him out for not just the rest of the tournament but a whole calendar year. Once, Spinazzola returned with Roma he struggled to be the same player he was during the tournament as they injury took a toll on his legs.

Spinazzolla career at Roma slowly fizzled out due to his poor form, which saw him leave the club. Napoli took the risk on Spinazzola signing him as a free agent once his contract with Roma ended. The gamble was one that had a huge pay off for Napoli, as he has returned to form close to his euros ever since joining the club.

Spinazzola has become a favourite of Antonio Conte who now would like to keep him in Naples. This comes as the fullback has a contract which expires at the end of this season, but he is hoping to renew with Napoli. According to Nico Schira via X he will be able to do so past this season.

Schira is reporting that Napoli are offering Spinazzola a new contract for an added season. While this is a starting point for negotiations it isn’t exactly what he had in mind. Schira and his team would rather have a two year deal that would keep him in Naples until 2028. However, the deal he has been offered is a good starting point for negotiations.
