AC Milan stars Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud have already made an impact this season against Napoli. They scored goals at the Maradona stadium and the Champions League clash tonight could give them a boost for their future with Milan, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The French centre-forward Giroud is seeking his first goal in the quarterfinals of the Champions League and then the renewal that is now simply a formality. As for Leao, the confidence reiterated in public by the sporting director Paolo Maldini for the extension of his contract has not yet materialised in an appointment for the signature.
The result at the Napoli stadium could accelerate the process: the winner will receive 12 and a half million euros in UEFA prize money, plus other bonuses and the box office receipts from the hypothetical semifinal. It could reach around an amount of 25 million euros deal in one night: money that the winner will invest to build an even stronger team. And Leao represents one of the foundations of AC Milan. The future without him would be more difficult for the Rossoneri.
