Today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below) talks about the future of Leao, who showed all of his dribbling, speed and finishing with a well-taken brace during the 4-0 win against Napoli on Sunday, playing with a smile on his face.
There will of course be further talk about his contract situation in the weeks to come, and a financial assist could come from the Champions League with the Rossoneri set to face Napoli on April 12 and 18.
Milan are ready to offer over €6m net per season, more than four times what the Portuguese earns now, but Leao’s entourage want €7m per year plus €2m as a signing bonus, in addition to paying the €16m fine to Sporting CP.
The paper add that the renewal could be sign if Milan get to the semi-finals of the Champions League, which would allow the club to earn €100m, in addition to the €50m they would collect in the event of a top four finish.
