Saturday marked the return of several key players to Milanello, including Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez, and Tijjani Reijnders, who recently competed in the Euro 2024 semifinals with France and the Netherlands. These players began individual training sessions as they await the return of coach Paulo Fonseca and the rest of the team from their North American tour. Alongside Rafael Leao, Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez , and Tijani Reijnders are considered pivotal to Milan’s success.
Calciomercato detail how the focus now shifts to contract renewals for Maignan and Theo Hernandez. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, discussions regarding their contract extensions are expected to take place in the coming weeks. Both players are anticipated to receive significant salary increases to reflect their importance to the team. Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently emphasized their value, stating, “Theo, Leao, and Maignan are happy and will stay with us because they are among the best in the world in their positions. We don’t need to sell.”
