Just a few minutes to go before Udinese-Milan kicks off. For Sergio Conceicao’s team, there is little else to do in this league: having closed the Champions League discourse, all that remains for the Rossoneri is to hope to scrape together points to get back into the race for at least the Europa League, a goal that can also be reached through winning the Coppa Italia, the only goal left in these last few months. Around Milan there is less and less talk about the pitch, and more and more central, instead, is talk about the future. About the company, the sporting director, the new coach and even contract renewals.
Mike Maignan’s has become a case recently: the deal was now done, but the announcement is still delayed. The reason, according to some, is related to an afterthought on the part of the club over the goalkeeper’s performance and the failure to qualify for the Champions League, which makes it inevitable to revise offers downward. Geoffrey Moncada told Sky Sport and DAZN about this and more.
Moncada conferma: “Con noi al 100%”
For Maignan, the Udine match is a very special one because of what happened last year. The French goalkeeper was the victim of shameful racist insults by the Friulian public and had decided to leave the field during the match, only to return and finish it. In recent days a boorish banner against him appeared on the streets of Udine: “Maignan man of me***,” as if to warn him that it will not be an easy night for him.

“We talked a lot with him during the week, we told him to just focus on the game,” Moncada said. Regarding the renewal, however: “We are talking, we are communicating, but tonight’s game is more important.” Speaking of the future: also under discussion is his future considering that the club is looking for a sports director. For him, a return as head scout is on the horizon: “My role is not important, it is important to work well for the club. I still scout, I go to games, I am with the team, I do many things for the club during the week.”
Among the topics discussed instead at DAZN is the future of Reijnders, who ended up in the crosshairs of Europe’s top clubs despite his recent renewal: “If he stays with us? 100% he is with us, he is already at the biggest club in Milan. He is already at a top level and we are very happy with him.” There has been talk of Milan’s interest in Lorenzo Lucca, a special observer in tonight’s match: “We already have our Luka (Jovic, ed.), and that’s fine.”
