Rafael Leao is currently in talks with AC Milan over a contract renewal and while the process has been long, the winger is expected to renew after all. In fact, the interest of Chelsea has faded.
Leao is one of Milan’s best players, if not the best, and it’s not exactly surprising that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are working on a renewal. There have been quite a few roadblocks, but the parties are nearing a conclusion.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, via ChiamarsiBomber, Leao is likely to renew with Milan as he knows that it’s the best choice for his career. He’s simply trying to get the best deal possible due to the Sporting fine, if it hadn’t been for the latter he would have renewed already.
In addition, Leao has realised that Chelsea aren’t too keen on him after all. If that had been the case, then the Stamford Bridge side would have made an offer last month. A renewal is thus on the cards, only a matter of time.
