Mediaset: Milan raise their offer to Leao in bid to up the pressure

AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are currently working with the lawyers representing Rafael Leao on his renewal, a report claims.

According to Claudio Raimondi’s latest for SportMediaset (via MilanNews), Milan are applying some heavy pressure to try and convince the Portuguese attacker to sign a new agreement with the Rossoneri.

The current deal is worth €1.5m net per season plus bonuses and will expire in June 2024, so Maldini and Massara are at work in Dubai with the lawyers of the former Lille man to try and make progress on the renewal front.

To convince Leao to sign a new deal and commit his long-term future to the club, Milan have raised their economic offer up to €7m net per season, which is getting close to what other sources have suggested his demands are. However, Raimondi does not mention whether this satisfied his requests.
