What is Milan's priority? Undoubtedly, the renewal of Mike Maignan. Maignan is a proud player, and it won't be easy to persuade him to forget the tensions from past negotiations and sign a long-term contract with the Rossoneri. A few months ago, Milan opted against offering him €5 million a season, considering it was right after Maignan had two seasons that fell far short of his standards. However, the first few months under coach Allegri have been impressive, showing the Maignan we saw during the Scudetto-winning era. Saves like Neres' shot in stoppage time during Milan-Napoli, Gatti's shot in Juventus-Milan, Zappacosta's late shot away at Bergamo, penalty saves against Dybala and Calhanoglu, Hernani's free kick against Parma, and the diving save against Mario Hila's header — these moments are what define Milan's current standing. Therefore, Milan plans to pursue the renewal with strong intent. “Mike is a truly special and excellent goalkeeper,” Tare said ahead of the Coppa Italia match against Lazio. “We will try to find the right solution together at the appropriate time.” Maignan will make his own judgment, and other clubs will surely approach him. Chelsea, who made an offer in the summer, is currently watching the situation and contemplating their next move.

Torriani attracting Arsenal interest. Meanwhile, Milan must also carefully consider the future of Torriani. Torriani, a 2005-born goalkeeper, currently plays for Milan Futuro, and for now, there are no plans for a loan move to Serie B or elsewhere in January. He is likely to stay with the Rossoneri and review the best future options with the club in the summer. Overseas, Arsenal is showing significant interest. Torriani impressed last summer by saving three penalties in a friendly match against Arsenal. However, Milan does not currently view this as a concrete threat. Since he is only twenty years old, there is plenty of time to consider.
