According to Antonio Vitiello’s editorial for MilanNews, the break for the World Cup means now is the time to think more decisively about the renewals of Leao and Bennacer, with the winger and the midfielder both ‘doing well at Milan’.

Regarding Leao, the real obstacle is the compensation owed to Sporting CP because this also affects the request for his new salary and bonuses. The confusion that reigns around Rafa still exists, because agent Jorge Mendes and French lawyer Ted Dimvula have opposing views on the future of the Portuguese.
The deadline set by Maldini back on 11 October – when he declared he wanted to find a solution before the World Cup – has now passed.
