AC Milan are ready to raise the offer to renew the contract of Portuguese star winger Rafael Leao. This is the news reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
According to the Italian newspaper, the club directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara have received the green light from the club's higher management for an exception to exceed the salary ceiling and guidelines of the club.
The player returned to Milanello yesterday and had his first training session in the morning. He is looking forward to the new campaign. According to the newspaper, the last previous offer was set at 4.5 million euros until 2026, while the next one should be much higher.
As per the souce, 6 million euros net per season for 5 years should be the new contract proposal: about 9 million gross due to the Growth Decree. A clear demonstration of the club that top players should remain.
AC Milan really want to keep Rafael Leao and that is why offers lower than the release clause (150 million euros) will be rejected by the club as the Portuguese is not for sale.
