AC Milan are very close to being able to officially announce that Rafael Leao has extended his contract by four years, we have learned.
There are now widespread reports that nearly everything is agreed and that Leao will put pen to paper after a long negotiation and extend his contract with the Rossoneri until 2028.
This should come as no surprise to avid readers of the site, who will recall our exclusive from a few days ago in which we stated the announcement could arrive before the end of the week.
While some places are calling it a done deal already, we can reveal that it is ‘almost but not yet done’, because the parties hope that the final part of the renewal negotiations will be concluded tomorrow.
All that remains is for Milan to agree with the terms put forward by Leao and his father, but just as Fabrizio Romano reports the plan is to get everything signed in the coming days.
The Portuguese winger’s entourage are in fact already in Milano in order to seal the new contract and bring a positive end to a negotiation that seemed for a long time like it might never reach a conclusion.
If this is real we can now aim for the UCL is 2-3 years we just need a replacement for Kjaer (Ndicka), a new rw (Berardi) that can support Alexis and maybe Junior Messias, a CM (SMS) and a striker (Elye Wahi or Jonathan David).
Where are the morons on here saying it would never get done? And Maldini is garbage?
They are in mud already..
the pessimism in this site…
It’s not done yet. Even if he signs, doesn’t mean he won’t be sold. The most important thing is that we don’t lose him for free.
the most important is we win thropies with our best players
Fabrizio Romano & anto vitiello already says. Both are reliable source. His contract extended till 2028 . Nice job . Now AC Milan must find quality starter striker that can compete with giroud and get rid king origoat
i partially copy pasted this from fabrizio romanos twitter and had to write the rest up as some of it was on a screenshot of his but this should calm down the doubters a bit
EXCLUSIVE — Rafa Leão’s laywer Ted Dimvula tells me: “There are many fake informations on Leão. We are working together to find a satisfactory solution on the new contract”. 🚨🔴⚫️
“Leão’s priority has not changed: he wants to stay at AC Milan”. and continue to grow and progress in this institution and this city that he loves so much.
we therefore firmly deny any desire on the part of rafael and/or his entourage to lower his release clause in order to facilitate a departure of the player next summer.
Rafael is fully focused on the important goals to come with his current club, and wishes, in this difficult period, to be able to work in calm and serenity in order to get back winning.
