Mike Peterson Maignan (born 3 July 1995) is a French professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie A club Milan and the France national team.

Maignan came through the youth teams at Paris Saint-Germain, he was an unused substitute several times but never played. In 2015 he joined Lille for €1 million, and became their first-choice in 2017. He was voted Ligue 1's goalkeeper of the year in 2018–19, and won the league title in 2020–21.

Early years[]

Maignan was born in Cayenne, French Guiana, to a Haitian mother and a French father.[3][4]

Club career[]

Paris Saint-Germain[]

Maignan played in the lower categories of Paris Saint-Germain before being promoted in 2013 to the first team. He participated in the 2013–14 UEFA Youth League in which his team reached the quarter-finals, being eliminated by Real Madrid.[5]

In June 2013 Maignan signed his first professional contract, of three years.[6] On 18 December, he was in a matchday squad for the first time, sitting on the bench for Nicolas Douchez in a 2–1 win over Saint-Étienne in the last 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue.[7] On 19 January 2014 he was included in a Ligue 1 game for the first time, remaining unused as Salvatore Sirigu played in a 5–0 win over Nantes at the Parc des Princes.[8]

Lille[]

In August 2015, Maignan transferred to fellow Ligue 1 club Lille for €1 million on a five-year deal.[9] He made his professional debut on 18 September in a 1–1 draw at Rennes, as a substitute for Yassine Benzia after Vincent Enyeama was sent off in the 69th minute. With his first touch, he saved the penalty from Paul-Georges Ntep; however, in five minutes, he conceded a goal from the same player.[10]

At the start of the 2017–18 season, manager Marcelo Bielsa dropped the experienced Enyeama for Maignan. In the second game of the season, a 3–0 loss at Strasbourg, he was sent off for throwing the ball at an opponent and striker Nicolas de Préville had to go in goal for the final minutes.[11] The following season, he was an ever-present as Lille finished as runners-up to PSG, and was elected Goalkeeper of the year in the Trophées UNFP du football. His record was 30 goals conceded, 17 clean sheets, 233 saves and three penalties saved.[12]

In 2020–21, Maignan won the Ligue 1 title, beating his former club PSG on the final day by one point.[13] Maignan finished the season with 21 clean sheets, one short of the league record.[14]

AC Milan[]

On 27 May 2021, Maignan agreed to sign for Italian Serie A club AC Milan on a five-year contract, effective from 1 July.[15] He made his debut on 23 August, a 1–0 win at Sampdoria.[16]

International career[]

Maignan played for France at every level from under-16 to under-21. He captained the under-17 side at the 2012 European Championship in Slovenia.[17][18] He received his first senior call-up in May 2019, ahead of UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Turkey and Andorra and a friendly with Bolivia.[19] He made his debut on 7 October 2020 as a half-time substitute for Steve Mandanda in a friendly against Ukraine, which ended as a 7–1 win at the Stade de France.[20] In May 2021, he was called up for the delayed Euro 2020 finals.[21]
