La Gazzetta dello Sport's journalist, Carlo Laudisa, has spoken to the YouTube channel of Carlo Pellegatti and said the following about AC Milan's Rafael Leao:
"Leao has shown with facts to remain at Milan with the refusal to Chelsea but has increasingly clear and important requests. The Portuguese has a dispute with Sporting Lisbon worth 19 million euros: the sum should be paid halfway between Leao and Lille. Milan, however, has come forward for some time by proposing a solution whereby the club pays half of the half due by Leao while the other part is always anticipated by Milan and is discounted in the renewal of the following 5 years."
Carlo Laudisa added:
"In recent weeks Leao or his entourage has been clear: he wants the fine money to be paid in full by Milan. In all this he has also raised the bar: he no longer wants 6 million, but 7 net."
