As has been reported by Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are trying to secure the future of the Portuguese forward who is regarded as the best and most important player in the squad.
Negotiations have been going on for a long time but given the current deal runs until June 2024, there is immense pressure to either renew the deal now or sell him this summer, as he could go for free in 2024 otherwise.
One idea that now exists to buy the club more time is to extend his deal by a single year. That means they can then spend the summer negotiating for a longer extension without the same time constraints that make things so hard right now.
