AC Milan have not made any recent progress on Rafael Leao’s renewal and they could well be forced to accept a sale, a report claims.
Leao has not scored a goal since the 2-2 draw against Lecce back on January 14 but Sunday’s win over Atalanta at San Siro showed he can be decisive anyway, with the Portuguese forward registering an assist with a gorgeous through ball to Junior Messias to make it 2-0.
Today’s Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) talks about Leao’s future and recalls his words prior to the game at the weekend: “I’m fine at Milan, I feel good. Let’s see what happens at the end of the season.”
Essentially, the plan of Leao is to postpone everything until the end of the year. Milan hoped to be able to get the ex-Lille star to sign an extension much earlier, even before the World Cup, but the agreements have not arrived.
The dialogue continues and seems to be constructive, but there is still no agreement and if one does not arrive by the summer then Milan will have to seriously consider selling him, given that his deal expires in June 2024.
