Announced on the start at the start of the transfer window, Mike Maignan was in discussions with Chelsea for a possible transfer this summer. But finally, the French goalkeeper will indeed stay in Milan, where he will now evolve under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri. The big new Rossoneri side, according to the Gazzetta dello Sportis that Mike Maignan will become the new captain of the Lombard club. A historic fact: it has been more than 60 years that a foreign, non-Italian player had not officially carried the Brassard to AC Milan.
Maignan had often worn the armband, but only in the absence of Alessio Romagnoli or Davide Calabria, injured or not holders. Now he will be the principal captain, even if we imagine that Luka Modric or Rafael Leão will also be part of this hierarchy. This Wednesday, July 23, during the 1-0 defeat against Arsenal, the captain of the day was the 26-year-old Portuguese winger Mike Maignan not being in the group. It was Terracciano who kept the cages. An announcement that could further revive the debate around the capitalnate in the French team.
