CM: Leao’s renewal has not yet materialised with bids from English clubs expected

AC Milan must soon reach a resolution on Rafael Leao’s contract extension because interested clubs are beginning to sense an opening, it is claimed.

Leao is having his best season yet since joining from Lille in the summer of 2019 as he has hit double figures in goals across all competitions and he has 9 goals in Serie A, with the general consensus being that he has reached a level of consistency in his performances that wasn’t there during the first couple of seasons.

However, il Corriere dello Sport (via Calciomercato.com) report talks for the renewal of the Portuguese winger’s contract have not yet materialised even though Leao remains very central in the project for Milan.

Ideally a resolution regarding the renewal will be found soon because the first offers from interested Premier League clubs are expected to arrive, with updates expected in the coming weeks once his legal battle with Sporting CP is sorted.
