AC Milan have officially announced that Rafael Leao has signed a contract renewal with the club. After many months of intense negotiating, the parties have agreed to continue their partnership until 2028.
Leao’s contract renewal has been a hot topic over the last few months, but the matter was more or less concluded in the last few weeks. To back that up, Milan have now officially announced the renewal of their star on the official website.
“AC Milan is pleased to announce the extension of Rafael Alexandre da Conceição Leão ‘s contract until 30 June 2028,” the statement reads.
“Arrived in the summer of 2019, Rafael collected 162 appearances, 41 goals and 29 assists for the Rossoneri and established himself in the Italian Championship as last season’s “Best Serie A Player”.
“AC Milan and Rafael will continue their journey together.”
The winger is expected to earn €5m plus bonuses until 2028. There will also be a €175m release clause in the deal, as was confirmed by our colleagues at SempreMilan.it yesterday. A good deal for Milan, especially considering the many big clubs interested.
Leao has found the back of the net 14 times this season and has also assisted an additional 15 goals. These are very impressive numbers and there’s no doubt that this renewal is a huge achievement made possible by Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara.
