AC Milan had a quiet January transfer window which has caused some distress among the fan base, but one way the management could reassure everyone is by getting some key renewals done.
That is exactly what Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have planned too. According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), the offices of Casa Milan have now changed from taking phone calls over potentials signings and sales, and there are preparations being made for the announcement of Theo Hernandez’s contract renewal.
The full-back will extend his current contractual deadline beyond 2024 and after the Frenchman has done so, Maldini and Massara will also aim to close negotiations over the extensions of midfielder Ismael Bennacer and winger Rafael Leao.
The management view the Algeria and Portuguese internationals as the other two jewels in the squad that need protecting given the rumours of interest from other clubs and the difficulties in securing previous extensions such as Donnarumma, Calhanoglu and Kessie.
