Repubblica: Maignan could be part of goalkeeper carousel – Milan’s idea to replace him
Today’s edition of La Repubblica (via MilanNews) reports this morning that if Ederson – who is wanted in the Saudi Pro League – were to leave City, a ‘sensational carousel of goalkeepers’ could begin in Europe.
The Citizens would go for Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain to replace the Brazilian, who in turn would go for Mike Maignan of Milan, a player that was part of the PSG system when he was younger.
In the event of the Frenchman’s farewell, the Rossoneri would not be unprepared because the idea would be to go and get the Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
He would cost around €40m, a figure that Milan would presumably receive and more for the sale of Maignan, and has just had an excellent European Championship with his national team.
Speaking of which, Maignan showed his qualities with France at the Euros and many consider him to be the best goalkeeper in the world. He was named in the official Team of the Tournament, too.
Milan are ready to discuss a renewal for the ex-Lille man and a big pay rise is on the cards. Calciomercato.com reported recently that the feeling is now that Maignan will accept the offer.
