According to Calciomercato.com, Leao’s contract situation at Milan is increasingly complicated and in recent days there have been no progress in the negotiations despite Paolo Maldini’s initial desire to reach an agreement before the start of the World Cup.
At the moment the biggest problem is represented by the salary demands of the player through his entourage which are currently €8-9m net per season, which the management do not seem willing to satisfy.
Maldini and Massara have not yet raised the white flag and they will ‘try until the end’ to strike a deal with Leao and his representatives, but at the same time they must start taking the necessary countermeasures.
The current stance is not to take into consideration offers in the January market of less than €100m and to postpone any evaluation until the end of the season, but given the calibre of clubs linked it cannot be excluded that those bids come in.
