AC Milan's club directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara have worked brilliantly with Rafael Leao's entourage, while Giorgio Furlani played a crucial role in the legal dispute between Lille and Sporting Lisbon. The Rossoneri CEO has been engaged in difficult diplomatic work with the French club, based on a relationship of trust and mutual esteem that has been consolidated over the years, writes Calciomercato.com.
Lille will pay the €22 million fine to Sporting Lisbon and has now obtained a higher percentage (15%) on any future resale, compared to the previous agreement.
AC Milan fans are only waiting for the official announcement of Leao's renewal, which should come after the second leg of the Champions League match against Inter. They are proud of a player who has decided to once again embrace the Rossoneri project without knowing for certain which European competition they will participate in next season. As reported in recent days, Rafa will sign a 5-year contract worth 7 million euros net per season. The buyout clause will still be present in the Portuguese talent's contract, but will increase from 150 million euros to 170 million euros.
