AC Milan have a minimum asking price for Rafael Leao in their mind as the summer window approaches with no renewal yet secured, a report claims.
According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan are now waiting for a response after making an offer worth €6.5m net per season plus bonuses, which they will not raise as it is considered the best deliverable offer.
It would see his current salary more than quadruple, and it seems that at the moment salary will not be an issue because the distance of about €500k per year is bridgeable.
However, Leao wants his release clause to go down from €150m to €70-80m at most as well as a hand in the compensation to be paid to Sporting CP, which Milan do not want to be involved in.
Despite the social media hints from Leao and the words of his lawyer Ted Dimvula, Milan are having to think about the next steps and if the negotiation continues to stagnate they will be forced to think about a sale.
If they were forced into selling this summer then the management would not go below triple digits with their asking price. The €150m clause would be ideal, while a meeting point could be found at €120m, with €100m as the absolute bare minimum.
If no agreement be found on the clause, at that point Milan could propose not to include it at all, leaving the events that follow to determine his value on the market.
