Regarding the contract renewal of AC Milan's Portuguese left-winger Rafael Leao, there is still some optimism from the club management. The player, for his part, feels happy as he represents Il Diavolo. If it were up to the former Lille talent, the contract would probably have been signed already, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport, but the multiple intermediaries and advisors and agents that are around the player make it complicated. A part of Leao's entourage even thinks that it is better to seek a transfer to another club.
It's common knowledge at this time that the penalty Rafael Leao owes to Sporting Lisbon muddles the entire affair even further. In fact, the player reportedly desires some assistance from AC Milan to help him pay the fine which is set at 16 million euros. The left-winger also asks for a salary of 7 million euros net per season bedies a bonus fee upon signing.
AC Milan club directors, for their part, propose a slightly lower salary with different bonuses linked to personal and team performances as well as achievements and no participation in payment of the fine. A meeting shall take place soon to discuss the situation more.
