French goalkeeper Jean Butez has named Mike Maignan as his top pick for the best goalkeeper in the world. Maignan, who plays for AC Milan and is set to represent France in the upcoming World Cup, was praised by Butez for his impressive skills. Butez, who plays for Como, also mentioned Joan García and Manuel Neuer as his second and third choices respectively.

Maignan's future at AC Milan has been a topic of discussion lately, with his renewal until 2031 and the recent changes in the club's management. The goalkeeper had previously expressed his commitment to the project led by Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri, but the departure of these figures has raised some doubts. Chelsea is reportedly interested in signing him.

In case Maignan leaves, AC Milan is looking at Italian goalkeepers as potential replacements. Elia Caprile from Cagliari and Marco Carnesecchi from Atalanta are being considered, along with Noah Atubolu from Friburgo.

The club is expected to make a decision on Maignan's future soon, with the goalkeeper set to discuss his options with the new management after the World Cup.
