According to what is reported by Il Corriere della Sera, reaching the quarter-finals could add 20 million euros to AC Milan's coffers solely from UEFA prizes, a sum that could double with additional revenue from receipts, sponsors, and marketing.
In fact, these additional earnings might aid the Rossoneri in meeting Rafael Leao's wage demands of approximately 7 million euros net per season, as well as in finding a joint solution to the issue of the 19 million euro fine that the player still owes to Sporting Lisbon. Nevertheless, the club has already stated that it will not go beyond its means in the pursuit of this objective.
