Journalist of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Carlo Laudisa, spoke in an interview with Carlo Pellegatti about the renewal issue of Rafael Leao and Ismael Bennacer. Here are his words:
"Leao? It's a very intricate story. Leao's words from Qatar lead to optimism. Maldini, Massara and Jorge Mendes were present in Dubai for Globe Soccer. That was the occasion for a summit between the parties. In this chat there may have been a pact between Milan and Leao's renewal agent."
On Ismael Bennacer's situation:
"Bennacer's contract expires in 2024. The agent has been changed who is now Enzo Raiola. It is said that he wanted to change agent because he wants a higher salary than the 4.5 million euros Milan offered him. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have put him in their sights. Renewing his deal will be an economic battle for Milan."
