MN: Sporting and Lille working on agreement over Leao compensation

Attempts have been made between Sporting CP and Lille to find an agreement over their dispute relating to AC Milan forward Rafael Leao, a report claims.

As has been reported by Milan News, there has been plenty of positive movement in recent days when it comes to the possible renewal of Leao at the club.

It seems that a new contract for Leao is closer than ever and what makes it an even more realistic prospect is that two of his former clubs, Sporting and Lille, are sitting down at the table to find a resolution about his departure from Sporting in 2018.

He left the club by terminating his contract after fans stormed the training ground. Lille then signed him on a free transfer. If they can find a compensation agreement, it would remove one major obstacle for Milan to contend with.

There is a will from all three clubs and the player to bring the matter to a close.
