Against Bologna, Rafael Leao recovered his form as he scored one goal and provided one assist. The Portuguese confirmed once again that he is a crucial player for head coach Stefano Pioli. Now, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara must hurry up and lock Rafael Leao down with a new contract. The former Lille star's deal expires in June 2024 and important clubs are on him, such as Chelsea.

The Rossonero number 17 wants to receive 7 million euros as net yearly salary. The current salary cap of AC Milan is at 4.5 million euros. However, with the arrival of the new ownership, things might change. Gerry Cardinale wants to present himself and announce his era in a good way to earn the trust of the fans and renewing the contract of Leao would surely be one way to do it, as per Milanpress.it.
