Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have a new agreement in mind that would see a salary increase from €1.5m to €3-4m net per season, but that may not be enough as interest continues to mount among top clubs around Europe.
The report also adds that his new agent Enzo Raiola has been contacted by Manchester United and also Chelsea, who are already on the trail of winger Rafael Leao. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the Blues try a double swoop in the coming months.
