Mike Maignan is reportedly growing frustrated with the direction of AC Milan, opening the possibility of a fresh move away from San Siro. The French goalkeeper previously came close to leaving the club after Chelsea made a major offer, but Milan refused to sell him. Maignan eventually stayed after being persuaded by Max Allegri, Igli Tare, and Claudio Filippi, all of whom have since departed following the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.

With the situation at Milan changing significantly, Maignan is now believed to be questioning the club’s plans and ambitions. His contract runs until June 2031, but the long-term commitment has not prevented concerns over his future. The goalkeeper has also delayed his return from his post-World Cup holiday, with his training comeback moved from August 12 to August 16.

Maignan is not the only player liked with a delayed return, as Adrien Rabiot is expected to report on the same date. Both players reportedly have a close relationship with Allegri and are understood to have been unhappy with Milan’s decision to dismiss the experienced coach. The developments have added further uncertainty around Maignan at a time when the club is trying to establish a new direction.

Al-Nassr are now monitoring the situation closely and have already made an approach for the 30-year-old goalkeeper. The Saudi Arabian club, which boasts Cristiano Ronaldo among its stars, could see Maignan’s frustration as an opportunity to secure one of Europe’s established goalkeepers. Since arriving at Milan in 2021 as Gianluigi Donnarumma’s replacement, Maignan has become a key figure, eventually taking on the captaincy. His importance to the Rossoneri could make any potential departure a major development for the club.
