<p>MILAN &mdash; AC Milan signed goalkeeper Mike Maignan on Thursday, only days after he helped Lille win the French league title.</p>
<p>Milan said the 25-year-old Frenchman signed a five-year contract through 2026. He will move to Italy after representing France at the European Championship. The Italian club did not reveal the transfer fee.</p>
<p>Maignan is set to replace Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is expected to leave Milan when his contract expires next month.</p>
<p>Milan will play in Champions League next season after clinching second place in Serie A on Sunday.</p>
<p>The seven-time European champions are returning to the competition after an eight-year absence and could land in the same group as Lille. Milan will be among the lowest-ranked teams in the draw, which will be made on Aug. 26. Lille will be a top-seeded team as the champion of France.</p>
