AC Milan have snapped up Lille goalkeeper Mike Maignan as a replacement for the outgoing Gianluigi Donnarumma, who will leave the Rossoneri on a free transfer. Milan sporting director Paolo Maldini confirmed Donnarumma will be departing this summer, with the 22-year-old's exit very 'difficult to accept'. We must respect those who gave so much to Milan and remember Donnarumma did not lack respect for us. Maignan will contest for the Milan number one jersey as the Rossoneri compete in the Champions League for the first time since the 2013-14 campaign. He was named as the Ligue 1 Goalkeeper for the Year for the 2018-19 season and helped lift the Ligue 1 title earlier this month.
