GdS: Milan slap €100m price tag on Leao and eye potential replacement

AC Milan are very keen on renewing the contract of Rafael Leao but the recent struggles in the league haven’t made the situation easier. As such, the Rossoneri are also planning for the worst-case scenario, which is selling him.

Negotiations between the parties have been ongoing for quite some time but they are yet to reach an agreement on the figures. Milan are willing to offer around €6m per year but it remains to be seen if this will be enough to convince Leao.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Milan have slapped a €100m price tag on Leao which they will refer to in case they fail to renew the contract ahead of the summer. They won’t go below this figure, having turned down €120m from Chelsea immediately last year.

One of the potential replacements is Noa Lang. The Dutchman has been linked with a move to Milan before and since he still plays for Club Brugge, the cost would not be outrageous. In fact, it would cost €20-30m for the Rossoneri.

The rest of the money could then be invested in other departments, but Milan might also need to sign a striker.
