A nice boost for AC Milan fans should arrive just before the weekend as Rafael Leao is expected to sign his contract renewal, it is claimed.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, a full agreement has been reached with Leao over his contract extension. After the victory against Sampdoria and the two rest days granted by Stefano Pioli, Milan’s new agenda has scheduled the signing and announcement of the new deal for Friday 26 May.
The player’s will has always been clear and ultimately decisive, as Leao wanted to stay at Milan which formed the basis of a negotiation that had its difficulties with regards to the salary, length, release clause and of course the infamous fine owed to Sporting CP.
Leao will sign a new agreement until June 2028 meaning it is a five-year deal for the former Lille star, whose salary will be increased to €5m net per season plus bonuses. His release clause will also go up, from the previous €150m to €175m.
