A phone call extends lives. And it’s not about calling for help in an emergency but about soccer, there where timeliness matters more than anything else. There is planning for the future and there is no time to waste in the Milan household. The fans are waiting for answers, even and especially after the unsuccessful championship that has just ended, and the management has no choice but to move with great speed.
An initial input has come with the hiring of sporting director and coach. Igli Tare has closed for Max Allegri and is working frantically to try to complete the team and strengthen it also following the coach’s wishes. Meanwhile, there is a problem of no small importance: excellent goodbyes must be dealt with.
First and foremost is Reijnders who is now headed for Manchester City, with deal closed at about 75 million euros. If the loss of the Dutchman is serious in the economics of the game, there is another bone of contention for the Rossoneri, Mike Maignan. His contract renewal is in a stalemate and so, with an expiration date of 2026, the goalkeeper seems open to new experiences, determined to leave Milan.
Milan, Maignan verso la Premier: ma manca l’accordo
The Frenchman has been waiting for months for a call from the Rossoneri club to renew, which is why he has reportedly decided to veer to other shores, to accept Chelsea’s courtship, with Maresca far from satisfied with his current goalkeepers in the squad. One last desperate attempt to keep the goalkeeper in Milan will be made by Alegri.

The coach has asked Tare to armor the Frenchman and is ready to call him to convince him to stay, with an offer that also includes the captain’s armband as well as the centrality of the project and a role as locker room leader. Between Milan and Chelsea, moreover, there is also a distance between supply and demand: the Londoners’ proposal of 20 million is in fact considered insufficient by the Meneghini, who demand at least 30 million.
Allegri e la telefonata per il grande obiettivo: il piano di Max
The aziendalist technician Allegri then also presented another request to ds Tare, the purchase of Adrien Rabiot. A real pet project of the coach, capable of making him perform at his best in the Juventus jersey. The two are on very good terms and Max is counting on convincing him to marry the Rossoneri.

Admittedly, he is starting from a disadvantageous position at the moment: Olympique Marseille will play in the next edition of the Champions League and he has a contract with the transalpinians until June 2026 at 3.5 million euros net per season plus bonuses that add up to 6.
In short, a major offer would be needed, but Max’s phone call could be decisive, unlike what could happen with Maignan. And in this case the French share in the club would not be touched: one goes in, the other goes out, rien ne va plus as they would say beyond the Alps.
