After a season in which he was crowned the Serie A MVP, it is perhaps not surprising that stories regarding Rafael Leao’s future continue to circulate.
As reported today by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Lille have decided to challenge the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport which ordered the payment of a fine of €20m by the Ligue 1 club and the winger to Sporting CP.
The procedure therefore will now pass to the civil courtrooms and it will take even more time for the situation to be finally resolved, but what it does mean is that the payment of the compensation to Sporting CP remains frozen for the time being.
Milan are ready to spring into action while the legal case is on pause and they are ready to raise their offer for renewal for the Portuguese jewel. Paolo Maldini has been given the green light to table a bid worth €6m net per season to Leao, in the hopes of convincing him and his entourage.
6M will not be enough especially with the court decision
