Mike Peterson Maignan (; born 3 July 1995) is a French professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for club AC Milan, which he captains, and the France national team.
Maignan came through the youth teams at Paris Saint-Germain, where he often served as an unused substitute. In 2015 he joined Lille OSC 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. He then moved to AC Milan for €15 million, winning Serie A in his first season and making the Team of the Season.
After earning 37 caps for France at youth level, Maignan made his senior international debut in 2020. He was selected in the French squads for UEFA Euro 2020 and Euro 2024.
In June 2013 Maignan signed his first professional contract, of three years. 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. 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 FC Nantes at the Parc des Princes.
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. 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. In 2020–21, Maignan won the Ligue 1 title, beating his former club PSG on the final day by one point. Maignan finished the season with 21 clean sheets, one short of the league record.
On 13 October 2021, Maignan underwent surgery to his left wrist injury and he was expected to be out of action for ten weeks, but returned to the field after six weeks. He made crucial saves against Inter Milan, to help his team win a narrow 2–1 derby on 5 February. Eight days later, he assisted Rafael Leão's goal in a 1–0 win against Sampdoria, being the first assist made by an AC Milan goalkeeper in Serie A since Dida in 2006. Maignan was awarded the trophy for Best Goalkeeper in Serie A ahead of the last match of the season on 22 May 2022. Milan won the game 3–0 away to Sassuolo for their first league title since 2011; it was his record 17th clean sheet of the season.
On 18 April 2023, Maignan saved a penalty from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia during a 1–1 away draw against Napoli in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg, which helped his team to qualify to the semi-final, by winning 2–1 on aggregate, for the first time since the 2006–07 season. On 2 December, he assisted Christian Pulisic's goal in a 3–1 win against Frosinone Calcio, making him the only goalkeeper in Europe's top 5 leagues to record an assist in each of the last 3 seasons.
In January 2024, after Maignan was allegedly racially abused by Udinese fans, he and his teammates walked off the pitch. Following the incident, Udinese had to play their next game behind closed doors. Initially one Udinese fan was banned for life, before a further four received similar punishments. In October 2024, he was named captain of AC Milan, becoming the fifth foreign international to wear the armband for the club. On 31 January 2026, he extended his contract with the club until 2031.
On 6 June 2022, Maignan made his competitive international debut in a 1–1 UEFA Nations League draw away to Croatia, conceding a late penalty by Andrej Kramarić. Calf injuries in September and October that year ruled him out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Following Hugo Lloris's retirement from international football in January 2023, Maignan was promoted to first choice goalkeeper for the France national team.
He was France's starting goalkeeper at UEFA Euro 2024, helping France to the semi-finals of the competition, where they were defeated 2–1 by eventual champions Spain. Maignan was named to the team of the tournament for his performances.
