Mike Maignan, the goalkeeper who
helped Lille win the French League title in the season that has
just ended, is set to have a medical for a transfer to AC Milan
on Tuesday after arriving in the city overnight, sources said.
The operation means that Italy keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, a
product of Milan's academy, is set to leave the club when his
contract expires at the end of June.
Maignan, a 25-year-old who has one France cap, is set to sign a
three-year contract and earn around three million euros a
season, the sources said.
Negotiations in recent months for a renewal of Donnarumma's
contract failed to reach an agreement.
Milan reportedly offered the 22-year-old eight million euros a
season.
Requests by Donnarumma's agent Mino Raiola for a commission of
15-20 million euros were reportedly a factor in the failure to
reach an agreement.
