Rafael Leao is the best Serie A player of the season. The tears of joy yesterday with his teammates and parents who were by his side on the stadium show the journey that the boy took since his arrival to Milanello. Compared to the previous season, the Portuguese star has grown so much. At just 22, he took Milan on his shoulder many times to grant them precious points.
Now, the club directors and owners are aware of how important and fundamental the former Lille star is and the idea is to keep him for a few more years.
The news is that Calciomercato.com have revealed the presence of a release clause stipulated at the time of his transfer to AC Milan from Lille and it is valued at 150 million euros. Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara do not want to sell Leao's card to any team for an amount any less than that.
Multiple top European clubs have asked for information regarding the player's situation at Milanello through his agent Jorge Mendes. As for Milan, they remain confident that they will reach an agreement with him until 2026. If not, the release clause of Leao is there which Jorge Mendes did not want initially. But, a big clause like this protects the interests of the club.
