There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the future of Alessio Romagnoli as his contract has just six months left on it and nothing suggests that an extension is imminent.
According to the latest from Tuttosport (via MilanNews), the renewal negotiations have not borne the results that the Milan management despite the opening from the captain to extend his deal beyond the current deadline of June.
The defender currently earns €6m net per season as per the terms of the agreement he signed under the Chinese ownership when a bid from Chelsea was rejected, but Milan have made it clear that they can only keep him if he takes a sizeable pay cut.
Milan have put €2.8m net per season on the table, while Romagnoli would like at least €3.5m plus €1m in bonuses. In short, there is still a significant distance between the parties, who last met in November.
Updates are expected in the coming weeks but there must be progress made otherwise Romagnoli could follow the path of Donnarumma, Calhanoglu and even Kessie.
