The idea of only extending Rafael Leao’s contract with AC Milan by two or three years is becoming a more plausible idea in order to protect his value, a report claims.
As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are very wary of losing the player on a free transfer in 2024, when his current deal runs out.
Whilst it would be ideal for Milan to get him onto a new five-year deal, the club could settle for a shorter renewal that protects his value and allows him to stay for one more year should a move not materialise.
The extension, even if only for two-three years, would be on the widely reported figures of €7.5 million per year.
The only hiccup is that Milan do not intend to back down from their stance on the release clause. Despite that, it is thought that a deal is getting closer and closer.
