As has been reported by Corriere dello Sport (via Milan News), Frederic Massara and Paoli Maldini are now essentially in a rush to get Leao to sign a new deal.
The aim was to have the extension secured before the 2022 Qatar World Cup but Milan know that the closer to the end of the season it gets, the harder it will be to get the Portuguese forward to renew.
He is not expected to stay at the club if they do not qualify for the Champions League but that looks like a battle that is going down to the wire.
His poor run of form is also making him less comfortable with renewing and if it continues, it will only get harder.
