Rafael Leao, who scored the first goal against Genoa in the last Serie A game at the San Siro, is an important part of Stefano Pioli's lineup. Despite a drop of form in recent games, his qualities and skills are never in doubt. That is why Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are absolutely convinced that he is a pillar of the club and that his contract, therefore, should be renewed for a few more years.

According to Tuttosport, there are two reasons why the finalisation of the renewal did not happen just yet. It could be that the agents of the player are now demanding higher commissions to put pen to paper. The other reason may be linked to the current negotiations between Elliott and InvesrCorp. Therefore, Elliott could leave this matter to the new buyers and it will be up to to them to make a decision.
