The issue of Rafael Leao’s renewal continues to generate speculation given the winger’s deal runs out in June 2024, but some encouraging signs have come from the player.
According to this morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), Leao’s renewal is something that continues to be spoken about by the management as they try and lock down a prized asset for the future.
Moreover, in recent weeks there has been growing confidence in reaching an agreement soon because the will of the Portuguese winger seems to be quite clear. In fact, the player reiterated to director Paolo Maldini and some team-mates that he wants to stay at Milan.
This is a good base to negotiate from but it will of course be necessary to turn confidence into pen on paper, something that did not happen with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Franck Kessie as they ended up leaving the club on free transfers.
We’ve been burnt by this script one time too many. If he doesn’t renew before the start of the transfer window we should sell him to the highest bidder quickly to have proper time for reinforcements.
Leao will try to say same shit all summer and try to leave for free I’m sure of it , so the commission he earns can be used to pay the fine owed to sporting. It’s so obvious :/
