CM: The truth about Lille’s resale percentage as Milan slap hefty price tag on Leao

AC Milan are working to extend the contract of Rafael Leao, who has been an important player for the Rossoneri this season. The current deal will expire in 2024 and a few suitors are probing the situation. 

The Portuguese winger has found the back of the ent 12 times this season (all comps), assisting an additional 7 goals. In short, he has been a key player for the Rossoneri and it’s not exactly a surprise that they want to keep him.

The renewal talks have been far from easy, though, and a move in the summer perhaps shouldn’t be excluded. As was reported by MilanNews a few days ago, a big offer has arrived for Leao from abroad and Milan have made it clear that they want at least €70-80m.

The high price tag is not just for the performances, but also because Lille have a % on a future resale. Some have said it’s 15, others 20, but Calciomercato.com are now reporting that the real number is just 10%.
