There have also been rumours surrounding his future, particularly regarding possible interest from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr, even if Milan intend to keep him. However, in his latest YouTube video, Fabrizio Romano seems to have poured cold water on this. “There’s been talk in recent hours about a last-minute exit for Mike Maignan. There’s been talk of Saudi Arabia and a possibility linked to Al-Nassr,” he said. “As of today, from what I understand, Al-Nassr isn’t looking for goalkeepers.
