The French shot-stopper has emerged as a primary candidate to leave Milan this summer following the Rossoneri&#8217;s failure to secure Champions League football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The uncertainty surrounding Maignan comes amid a period of sweeping reform at the San Siro, with the club hierarchy overhauling several departments in the wake of a disappointing campaign. He is not the only high-profile figure whose future is in doubt, as several other first-team mainstays continue to be linked with the exit door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, according to &#8216;La Gazzetta dello Sport&#8217;, Maignan is in no hurry to force a move. The goalkeeper is currently fully committed to the France national team and is reportedly prioritising his role in the 2026 World Cup cycle before committing to a long-term decision regarding his club career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Italian outlet further suggests that the identity of Milan&#8217;s next manager will be a decisive factor. The Frenchman is reportedly keen to see who takes the reins at the club before determining whether to spearhead the new era or seek a fresh challenge elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The France number one is reportedly prioritising intern [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2177,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2176"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2178,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176\/revisions\/2178"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
