There is still a big hitch to resolve in AC Milan’s bid to renew Rafael Leao and in the meantime Jorge Mendes is talking to other clubs, a report claims.
This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) focuses on the renewal of Leao whose contract with Milan is currently set to expire in June 2024 with a lot of speculation surrounding his future.
The Rossoneri’s proposal of around €7m net per season in salary is one that the winger would accept, but the point of conjuncture with Sporting CP over the fine owed to the Portuguese club remains to be found.
The Lisbon-based side are owed compensation after Leao left the club to join Lille on a free transfer following an attack on the training ground by ultras.
In the meantime, Leao’s agent Jorge Mendes is also talking to other clubs – more specifically Chelsea – to gauge interest ahead of the summer transfer window.
Only an a stupid player would want to go to Chelsea now lmao, gauge all you want.
Pay the fine! I’m mean he still is dirt cheap even after considering such a scenario. Leao is world class. We need to retain his services. It is as simple as that. The guy is going to be legendary, he’s already on good path. Making him a Milan legend is paramount to the future of the club.
AC Milan only have 2 choice : pay that fine 20m euro to sporting and renew leao 5 years with 5-6m euro nett / years. The second choice if ACM not willing to pay that fine then sell him to highest bid in next summer market. If AC Milan fail to sell or renew until next summer market close ,well you can say bye bye to your most prized gem in squad leave for free in 2024
