AC Milan announced the renewal of Rafael Leao earlier this afternoon and as the winger left Casa Milan, he shared his initial thoughts with the reporters present. Among other things, he discusses the potential number change.
Leao has penned a new deal with the Rossoneri until 2028 and he will earn a base of €5m per year, with additional bonuses to further up the salary. It’s a big achievement by Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara, who have been working on the deal for quite some time.
Our colleagues at SempreMilan.it were among the reporters that intercepted Leao as he exited Casa Milan (see video below). Leao expressed his happiness and also talked about the alleged number change.
“I’m very happy, it was something I wanted to do and now it’s done. We hope to do great things in the future. The negotiation? We have reached an agreement and I’m very happy. I’m focused on Verona and then next year when we want to win many important things. Will I change my number? We see. 17 is a special number for me, then we’ll see.”
