Milan, Maignan dismisses future rumours, focuses on Supercoppa | OneFootball

On the eve of the Italian Super Cup semifinal against Napoli, Mike Maignan chooses to focus entirely on the field.

Milan, Maignan shuts down future rumors: Milan and the Super Cup at the center of everything

No talk of renewal, no distractions related to the future: Milan's present and the trophy goal come before any other considerations.

The future can wait: Maignan speaks

The French goalkeeper was clear during the pre-match conference: “Today is not the time to talk about these things. I have to give my best on the field and then, only then, will we see what happens. I know my future is a topic of discussion, but it’s not something that should disturb me.”

Words that confirm an already established position: Maignan is aware of the discussions around his name, but he does not intend to be influenced by them. The priority remains athletic performance and an opportunity that can already enrich the trophy cabinet of the new Milan led by Massimiliano Allegri.

Italian Super Cup, Milan looks ahead

Milan arrives at the semifinal as the defending champion, but Maignan urges not to look back: “Last year we won, it's true, but that is the past. Now a new journey begins: we must focus on the match against Napoli to reach Monday and compete for the trophy in the final.”

A clear message, emphasizing that the experience gained should not turn into complacency, but into further competitive drive.

A more solid group and new serenity

Compared to last January, the Rossoneri's number one perceives evident growth: “We are doing better. Now we are more of a team, more of a family. We are well, the coach and his staff have brought serenity and calmness: this is the right path to achieve positive results.”

According to Maignan, Allegri's impact is measured not only in results but especially in the mental balance and cohesion of the group. A fundamental aspect in a single-elimination competition like the Super Cup.

Benefits also from the new staff

Finally, a note on the daily work and changes in the technical staff: “The new staff has guaranteed me serenity. Working with them is very fruitful, I am happy and satisfied.”

Important signals, indicating a more structured and aware Milan. Maignan's future remains an open topic, but for now, it doesn't enter the locker room: there is a semifinal to play and a trophy to try to win.
