MN: Leao renewal now expected next week instead of Friday – the reason

The announcement of Rafael Leao’s renewal could now be delayed until next week in order to maintain full focus on Sunday’s game against Juventus.

According to the latest from MilanNews, the signing of Leao’s new Milan contract may not be tomorrow, as initially reported. The decisive match against Juventus on Sunday is taking up the club’s full focus, and that suggests things could be slightly delayed.

Therefore, at the moment it is suggested the management are planning on moving the official announcement of the renewal with the customary signatures by a few days to next week.

It should be noted that regardless of the official date, Leao’s renewal with Milan is done and is absolutely not in discussion. The hope now is that a positive result can be obtained in Turin to seal a top four spot, and then the good news of the Portuguese’s renewal follows that up.
