Milan decided to keep Mike Maignan and instead sell Theo Hernandez this summer even though they both had just a year on their contract. The Rossoneri<\/em> rejected an offer from Chelsea in July, and then took him off the market, Calciomercato<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n The goalkeeper would have liked to go to London but didn\u2019t dig his heels in to do so. Massimiliano Allegri entrusted him with a prominent role within the group, and he appreciated the recognition.<\/p>\n Despite the turn of events in recent months, the renewal talks between Maignan and Milan haven\u2019t restarted. There was a significant gap between the team\u2019s proposal and the request before the summer. It remains to be determined whether the brass will attempt again to come to terms to avoid a Bosman exit, or if they have already come to grips with it.<\/p>\n If it were to happen, the shot-stopper would aim to join a top European side, unlike his former teammate. Chelsea didn\u2019t add a new option at the position in the last window and remains a very likely landing spot for the future. They had reached an agreement on his personal terms before the Rossoneri<\/em> elected to keep him and halt the negotiations.<\/p>\n It\u2019d be an odd call if they didn\u2019t have any chance to concur to at least a short-term renewal. While his price tag isn\u2019t massive due to his age, they\u2019d still miss out on a decent income if he left for free. His sale would have fetched a sum comparable to Theo Hernandez\u2019s one, and considering how much money they racked up from other exits, it wouldn\u2019t have been too tough to find a worthy replacement.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Milan and Maignan<\/h3>\n
