Rafael Leao is yet to reach an agreement with AC Milan on a new contract and since his current deal will expire in 2024, the Rossoneri could be forced to sell him in the summer. A hypothesis that’s gathering steam with time.
Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have been in talks with the entourage of Leao for several months. The problem, however, is not just the economic demands but also the many parties involved (the Sporting fine weighs heavily).
According to Niccolo Ceccarini in his latest column for TMW, Milan have put an offer worth €7m per year on the table. They won’t go any higher than this and it remains to be seen what the final response of Leao will be.
Should the stalemate remain until the summer, then Milan will be forced to evaluate a sale as keeping him with just one year left is too risky. It would be disastrous for Milan to lose a player of his value, €100m+, on a free transfer.
