Forced reflections – how recent mistakes can change Maignan’s Milan future

Mike Maignan’s poor form is just one issue in what is fast becoming one of the most complicated seasons in AC Milan’s recent history, and it could change the future.

As Calciomercato.com report, Milan are experiencing the disturbing situation of not being able to cling to the star players. While the winter signings have so far offered mixed contributions, the leaders of the dressing room seem to have also succumbed to the ‘general mediocrity’ of the season.

Maignan is no exception and his latest blunder against Torino proved that, the sensational own-goal credited to the German centre-back but realistically the fault of the goalkeeper who hammered a clearance straight at him.

It maintained a period of decline that especially since the beginning of 2025 has become increasingly evident, costing important points in the league as well as contributing to the Champions League play-off exit with his serious error in the first leg.
