As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), an incredible number of lawyers and executives have been a part of the deal to get the Portuguese forward to stay at the club.
Whilst the majority of the work has been done by Paolo Maldini, Frederic Massara and Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani, there are lots of intermediaries that have played their part too.
Lawyers working on the deal include Lorenzo Cantamessa for Milan, Antonio Leo for Leao, Patricia Moyersoen for Lille and Marco Correia de Oliveira for Sporting Lisbon.
The latter two have been involved due to the nature of Leao’s exit from Sporting in which the Portuguese side felt they were financially wronged.
