Milan plan to replace Mike Maignan with Roma’s Mile Svilar | OneFootball

Serie A side Milan have eyed up a potential replacement for Mike Maignan in Roma’s Mile Svilar.

According to an update on X by Daniele Longo, Milan have registered a firm interest in Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar. The Rossoneri are expected to start negotiations with The Giallorossi for the Serbian international in the event of Mike Maignan’s departure, who has already agreed personal terms with Premier League side Chelsea.

There might have been a few exploratory contacts between Roma and Milan representatives in the past few days to understand the economic plausibility of signing Svilar. However, nothing concrete has happened yet as Milan want to first deal with the transfer proceedings of Maignan.

Milan are ready to offer Alexis Saelamaekers in exchange for Svilar to sweeten the deal if they cannot match Roma’s asking price in cash.

The Rossoneri are expected to come to terms with Chelsea tomorrow and it remains to be seen whether they can hold on to their €30 million demand, which the London side have looked reluctant to match.

In the case of Svilar, the player is aware of the interest but he is yet to announce anything to his club since Milan have not shown their intent.
