Igli Tare will sign his Milan contract next week, and Gazzetta highlights that the ‘first two issues to resolve’ will be related to Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez.

Tare is set to take charge at Milan, signing a three-year contract on Monday, according to Gazzetta,.

The pink paper predicts that the first two issues Tare must resolve are Maignan and Theo.

The French defender’s contract expires in June 2026, but the two parties are nowhere near reaching an agreement as the club is unwilling to offer a pay rise.

First two issues for Tare at Milan revealed

According to the report, Milan are expected to offer Theo to other clubs, with his agent also naturally involved in introducing his client to potential suitors.

Gazzetta claims that Tare sees Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie as a potential replacement for Theo if the Frenchman leaves this summer.

As for Maignan, Milan have already offered a contract extension with a slight pay rise, but the France international’s entourage hasn’t yet answered the club.

Milan won’t be playing in any European competition next season and will host Monza in the final game on Saturday in a toxic environment.
