Rafael Leao's contract expires in June 2024. AC Milan want to keep him happy and the player does want to stay at Milanello, as confirmed by his agent.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition, the derby this weekend will be the toughest test for the Portuguese star. The renewal puzzle seems to distract him, now he has to return to the top levels he displayed before.
His 2023 followed the story of the AC Milan one: a great afternoon in Salerno, then darkness, in Riyadh and at the Olimpico the lowest points (with Sassuolo he stood by and watched for a while). Leao got lost like Milan while the negotiation for the renewal of the contract expiring in a year did not advance much on the usual nodes: the clause, the relations between the agents, the maxi-compensation of 19 million for Sporting.
