Alarm from Germany, Milan trembles for its star

As they search for a new center forward to shore up Massimiliano Allegri’s lineup, Igli Tare and Giorgio Furlani are working to figure out how to resolve the tangled Mike Maignan issue. The French goalkeeper has an expiring contract with Milan and extension talks have been at a standstill for some time: last summer the Frenchman&#8217s entourage and Giorgio Furlani met to discuss the issue but no agreement was found to move forward together. It seems that Maignan&#8217s demands are far from the Rossoneri&#8217s offer, which is why the negotiation stopped abruptly and was never spoken about again.

Recently Igli Tare spoke this way about the situation related to the French goalkeeper: “He is fine, he is as we thought he could be: he is having a very good championship. At the beginning of the season we made a pact together, we are moving forward without putting pressure on each other. We”ll see how things go. Of time, however, there&#8217s very little and the Rossoneri managers know it: recently Bayern Munich has been back on the trail of Mike Maignan. Manuel Neuer has an expiring contract, in all likelihood he will stay with the team another year but the heir must still be identified. Jonas Urbig convinces but the opportunity to sign a goalkeeper of Mike Maignan&#8217s caliber greatly entices the Bavarian management.

Recently, a surprise hypothesis has popped up: James Trafford is unhappy with his meager minutes at Manchester City and sees no future ahead given the competition from Gianluigi Donnarumma. According to English sources, the young star has reportedly asked his entourage to consider alternative options for a possible summer transfer. A number of Premier League clubs are on his trail (Newcastle first and foremost) and he will certainly not be a cheap shot, however, he has huge potential and could be the starter at his next club for a very long time given his young age. According to Transfermarkt he has a heat of 30 million euros.

In January, AC Milan could make a few moves: in recent days the name of Sergio Ramos has been insistently mentioned to the Rossoneri club. The rocky Spanish defender, who has never hidden a certain admiration for the Diavolo, has an expiring contract with Monterrey and has no intention of hanging up his boots. The former Real Madrid man wants to try one last European experience before saying goodbye to soccer and is looking for a top club willing to give him a chance to play. There will be the aspect concerning Sergio Ramos’ physical integrity to be checked: he will turn 40 in March and has played somewhat hiccupily in recent seasons.
