Rafael Leao, who scored the opener against Atalanta yesterday has proved himself once again that he is one of the best left-wingers in Europe. His skills, consistency and concentration levels have improved compared to last season.
Corriere dello Sport explain today that the former Lille star is the driver of Milan who drags his teammates in difficult games, he unlocks the matches and gives the advantage to Stefano Pioli's squad.
His contract expires in June 2024 but there are already many clubs that are asking his agent Jorge Mendes for information. The managers, Paolo Maldini, Frederic Massara and Ivan Gazidis, however, do not want to lose a talent like Rafa and will do everything to find an economic solution by improving the proposed salary.
The initial idea for the AC Milan management was to reach 4.5 million euros per season, but it is possible that the figure may change now and a relaunch would be then needed.
For Leao's part, though, he is happy to be in Milan. He's enjoying a great season and now he wants to focus on becoming decisive also in the Champions League. A few days ago, he admitted that his dream is to win the Champions League one day.
