Besides working on incoming signings, it is also very important that the AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are able to keep their star players with extended contracts.
One of the stars who absolutely must be locked down with a new deal is without doubt Portuguese left-winger Rafael Leao.
According to the latest news reported by Il Corriere della Sera in today's print edition, the Rossoneri managers are working on the renewal of the former Lille and Sporting Lisbon player, but the negotiations remain an "uphill battle".
In fact, the agent of Rafael Leao, Jorge Mendes, has not accepted the offer of Milan which is set at 5.5 million euros net per season. AC Milan must do everything to keep their star and they should not lose him on a free transfer in June 2024. Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, as per the newspaper, want to avoid the situation that had already happened in the past with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Hakan Calhanoglu and Franck Kessié.
