Rafael Leao has been a key player for AC Milan this season and especially in the second half of the campaign. Therefore, the Rossoneri are working on the renewal which now seems close, a report claims. 

The Portuguese winger has registered 13 goals and nine assists in all competitions for Milan this season, some of which were very important. Furthermore, in the last four games, he has bagged two goals and three assists.
