AC Milan's contract with Rafael Leao runs out in June 2024. Now, he is the most important player for the head coach Stefano Pioli, as many would argue. The Rossoneri are doing everything within their limits to keep him happy.
La Gazzetta dello Sport dedicated space to talk about the Portuguese left-winger and told the background about when city rivals Inter were close to signing the former Lille talent.
The first time dates back to the year 2018 the Nerazzurri could sign him on a free transfer after the attack by some of the Sporting Lisbon fans. The second opportunity was the following year when Inter's directors Piero Ausilio and Dario Baccin when they started dealing with Lille and received green light from Giuseppe Marotta. However, former head coach of Inter at the time, Antonio Conte, did not approve of the transfer and wanted the club to sign Romelu Lukaku at all costs.
