AC Milan are looking to resolve the long-term future of Davide Calabria by securing a renewal before the new season, a report claims.

The negotiation has not yet entered the definition phase, because in the last meeting with the entourage of the 24-year-old, Milan put forward a contract until 2025 with a salary that would rise to €2m net per season. The request made by the representatives of Calabria is for a contract until 2024 with a net salary of €2.5m.
There is still some distance but there is the common will to find an agreement soon, which is why a new meeting is planned this week to try and reach a deal.
