AC Milan is reportedly considering incorporating image rights into player contracts, as per La Gazzetta dello Sport's online article.
The recent capsule collection dedicated to Rafael Leao, who actively participated in its creation and launched in the last few weeks, has been particularly successful. The Portuguese player transferred the license to the club in exchange for a percentage of the sales. In the future, according to the source, this type of agreement could become a standard part of contracts, similar to the approach taken by De Laurentiis's Napoli.
In industry jargon, this is referred to as a 'blanket contract' an agreement in which the player relinquishes all rights, transferring them entirely to the club. AC Milan might follow this path, and the club is starting to seriously consider including such deals in the contracts of their most high-profile and media-impactful players.
