Mike Maignan (AC Milan)
2026 (contract expiry looming)
Bayern Munich have identified Milan’s Maignan as their prime long-term replacement for Manuel Neuer. Talks over a Milan renewal have stalled, raising the prospect of a January pre-contract or even a summer free transfer if negotiations collapse.
TEAMtalk reports Bayern see Maignan’s age and proven pedigree as perfect to succeed Neuer. With Milan reluctant but facing contract pressure, Bayern could strike early, especially with other European giants also circling.
