CM: ‘Bad day in the office’ – Maignan proves he still needs to grow to achieve ‘renewal value’ | OneFootball

Mike Maignan’s contract has been discussed heavily in the past 18 months, and negotiations have been continuing with AC Milan for some time, but there is a problem.

There is no denying that Maignan is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and this is why Milan fight regularly to keep the Frenchman at the club. However, there is a small problem that plagues the idea somewhat.

As Calciomercato states, the goalkeeper of the Rossoneri’s 19th Scudetto is a ‘distant memory’, and whilst this may be slightly harsh, the idea remains true. Whilst Maignan is still a top goalkeeper, his level has almost certainly dropped from what it may have once been, causing the report to question if he is worth his ‘renewal value’.

Like with all of the Diavolo’s stars, it boils down to consistency, or a lack thereof – a painful admission to be making again. Last night against Feyenoord, we saw the latest installation of inconsistency just after he had gotten his first clean sheet in almost two months.

On his Instagram story, the goalkeeper admitted that it was a ‘bad day at the office’ and even displayed that he needs to reflect on it, but the report suggests he is not the only one needing a period of reflection.

As it stands, the Rossoneri are preparing a big contract for the star, but questions about the errors must be asked. Then, once an answer is found, everyone can work together to ‘return to super’ which Maignan only wants to do with Milan.
