Juventus eager to keep AC Milan contract rebel Maignan in Italy

Juventus are ready to jump into the Bosman battle for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

Off contract in June, talks over a new deal between Milan and Maignan's camp have been dragging on for almost a year.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says while Bayern Munich and Chelsea are eager to ferry the France international away from Serie A next year, Juve are also monitoring developments.

The Bianconeri spy a bargain chance regarding Maignan's situation and are ready to offer him the opportunity to remain in Italy.

With fresh financial backing, Juve are in the position to meet the keeper's demands, which Milan - for now - are deeming as too rich.
