MILAN (AP) — AC Milan secured the long-term future of Mike Maignan after the goalkeeper signed a new deal to 2031 on Saturday.
Maignan had an immediate impact after joining Milan from Lille in 2021 to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma, who left to Paris Saint-Germain.
The France international helped Milan win Serie A in his first season and was named Serie A goalkeeper of the season.
“(He) quickly established himself as one of the team’s key figures, standing out for his leadership, reliability and selfless attitude,” Milan said in a statement.
“His constant growth saw him become club captain and a central presence within the squad, as well as a mainstay for the French national team.”
The 30-year-old Maignan has made 188 appearances for Milan.
