Rafael Leao has given his priority to AC Milan as renewal talks continue but the Champions League will be a key factor, a report claims.
MilanNews recall how Leao seemed back to his best at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday night as he scored a brace playing on the left wing, which gave rise to some enthusiasm suggesting an extension could follow.
For several weeks contacts between management and the entourage of the Portuguese winger have been going on, with the latter having also spoken with those who look after Leao’s non-footballing interests.
Leao’s people would like to complete and conclude the negotiations once Milan have reached qualification for the next edition of the Champions League, which is almost mandatory in order for the former Lille man to stay.
In the event Milan do miss out on the top European competition, his sale during the summer cannot be ruled out. Leao’s priority is to stay and the club are trying to make it happen, while he will definitely not leave on a free transfer and he has suitors regardless of the extension of the contract.
never ending story 🙁
And we thought the endless battle with Gigio’s contract issues was a loooong one. This will be the new reference point in the future negotiations.
IF Milan were to get Leao’s signature they should start negotiating the next contract extension with him soon after as it takes 2-3 years to get it done.
Pointless story, because they were writing about Milan in group and Leao’s renewal, then Milan in 16th final and Leao’s renewal, and Milan in quarter finals and Leao’s renewal and now what???
Donnarumma asking ACM waiting till seal champion league spot , we all know what the ending . But now we have 1 years left for leao while we dont have time with donna. Dont fall with same trick like that. Just give leao your best highest offer you can and if he reject that offer then you can sell him fast
