AC Milan have something special in Rafael Leao but they know they must act quickly to resist assaults from cash-rich teams abroad.
In 42 appearances across all competitions, the Rossoneri winger amassed 14 goals and 12 assists, attracting the attention of the strongest clubs in Europe. MilanNews writes that there are rumours of Real Madrid being willing to pay €120m for him having missed out on Kylian Mbappé who has renewed with PSG, with PSG themselves also keen.
The management want to extend Leao’s contract until 2027 given that the current agreement will expire in June 2024. Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara want to bolster the squad by locking down the key pillars ahead of an attempt to go deeper in the Champions League and renewals like Leao are key to cement a strong dressing room.
Everything suggests that Elliott Management will sell the club to RedBird Capital next week, and no matter who is in charge they want to keep hold of Leao and build an even better team around him.
But we all know what will actually happen is he’ll leave for free in two years instead. Sorry to say, but if he’s not signing a contract this summer, it’s time to cash in whilst his value is highest and reinvest that.
And there are those on this forum that called Leao “lazy” and “uninterested” and wanted to sell him for 30-40M – LMAO….
Tell me about it!
There were people on here still saying it with 2-3 games left in the season. He wasn’t pulling his weight defensively aparently.
Crazy talk!
If Real Madrid serious offer 120m euro, just take it. Liverpool sell their best player Coutinho about that price too and use the money to buy 2-3 quality player and they are now on final CL for third time after they sell coutinho. I don’t believe leao Will extend new contract due to many high offer salary from EPL & la liga club
14 goals + 11 assists and some clueless fans called Leao ‘lazy’ and wants him sold for €30-40 million lmao.
