Rafael Leao has never been closer to renewing his contract with AC Milan and the sensations are positive, according to a report.
Anto Vitiello writes in his latest column for MilanNews how the Rossoneri need the best version of Leao for the final part of the season, with a top four spot on the line as well as a Champions League semi-final derby against Inter.
The Portuguese winger is as important as Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan are for Stefano Pioli’s plans. Leao is very strong, potentially a phenomenon if he becomes more consistent and he is improving season after season.
Milan want to lock him down with a new deal and ‘the sensations are positive’ as per the journalist, who adds that Leao seems to be closer than ever to renewing his contract with Milan.
We have been talking about this negotiation for two years and until there is a signature it is right to always maintain an attitude of caution, because there are many variables at stake such as the Sporting CP fine, the multiple representatives, the salary and release clause.
However, Leao ‘wants to stay’ and he is ‘happy at Milan’ which is an important starting point. In the event that things go wrong, this will be the summer of decision and a sale cannot be excluded.
Even closer than last month, when you had the same title? Or the month before?
Until the Mercato we have to renew the Contract with Leao if not it would be critical..
