"There was a time when it felt like Mike Maignan was going to save every penalty he faced, but now the opposite is true. With all of the reports swirling regarding his future at Milan given his expiring deal, his penalty-stopping abilities have vanished into thin air. In fact, it has been over a year since the Frenchman last saved a spot kick for Milan, from Moise Kean in the Fiorentina away game last season."
"Having signed for Milan in the 2021 summer window, Maignan saved his first penalty from Mo Salah at Anfield in September of that year. Not a bad start, therefore. In 2022-23, he saved three penalties from Domenico Berardi (vs. Sassuolo, a 0-0 draw), from Memphis Depay (for France) and from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (vs. Napoli, a 1-1 draw to secure Champions League progress)."
Mike Maignan initially established a strong reputation for saving penalties after joining Milan in summer 2021, including a first save against Mo Salah at Anfield. In 2022–23 he saved three penalties from Domenico Berardi, Memphis Depay (for France) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, contributing to crucial results. Last season he saved Moise Kean's penalty for Milan and an Andrej Kramaric spot kick on international duty. Maignan's contract at Milan is expiring and his future at the club is under scrutiny. His recent form has deteriorated sharply, with only one save in his last 16 penalties faced.
