AC Milan club management would like to renew the contract of Rafael Leao. Even Paolo Maldini reiterated this to the media yesterday night in an interview: "Leao renewal? We would like to do it before the World Cup. Indeed, we wanted to do it a year ago and six months ago. Then there must be the conditions to do it. The idea is to do it before the World Cup break. We’ll see what happens.”
As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, there will be new contacts soon between the club and the Portuguese left-winger's entourage. There will be many details to be discussed such as the release clause which is set at 120 million euros right now and also the salary.
Regarding the wages, Leao currently earns around 1.5 million euros. His request, however, is to receive 7 million euros net per season. Then, there is the legal dispute with Sporting which directly involves Leao and Milan can decide to join their star in order to help him in this issue.
