Meczyki: Milan line up OGC Nice keeper amid Maignan interest – talks have begun

AC Milan are interested in signing Marcin Bułka as they begin to plan for a potential life without Mike Maignan in goal, according to a report.

According to the Polish source Meczyki, there have been some ‘behind-the-scenes conversations regarding the idea of Bulka joining Milan this summer, and the 24-year-old would be a potential successor to Maignan.

The Poland international has just had the best season of his career and although it was the ex-Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma who won the award for the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1, many believed that the award should have gone to Bulka who racked up 17 clean sheets with OGC Nice.

Bulka had some memorable moments during the season, such as when he saved two penalty kicks in the same game against AS Monaco, which is a derby for Nice. He is expected to be highly sought after this summer.

Meanwhile, Milan are keen because of the uncertainty connected to Maignan. The 28-year-old is being linked with Manchester City as a potential successor to Ederson, who is very tempted by clubs from Saudi Arabia.
