AC Milan are still working hard in the hopes to secure two important renewals for in squad of Stefano Pioli.
Speaking of Rafael Leao, it's evident that the Rossoneri are keen on holding onto one of their most valuable assets, and it seems the player himself isn't averse to staying put. However, the obstacles stalling this operation are twofold: commissions and a fine that must be paid to Sporting Lisbon.
To be precise, Leao must cough up a princely sum of 16.5 million euros due to the unilateral termination of his contract with the Portuguese outfit. This hurdle is impeding any significant headway in negotiations, and should an agreement fail to be reached in the coming months, the Rossoneri will have to offload him in the summer to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, negotiations are underway to extend Olivier Giroud's contract. The French striker's situation appears relatively straightforward, with the minimum gap between his demands and AC Milan's offer reportedly hovering around 300,000 euros. The Rossoneri club is looking to maintain his current salary of 3.5 million euros for another season, and Giroud himself would be more than happy to continue his adventure in the Devil's jersey for another year, as relayed via PianetaMilan.it.
