Interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, former Rossoneri midfielder Demetrio Albertini spoke like this about Rafael Leao and the contract renewals of Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez:
"With Rafa, we always talk about the same strengths and the same weaknesses. He is a beautiful player with incredible potential, but before every match you never know what kind of Leao will take the field.

On Mike Maignan renewal, he said:
"For me, he is a great player, but the evaluation is up to the directors. And then, the agreement must be found by both parties."
On Theo Hernandez's situation, Albertini commented:
"Also a great player. In the last few matches, he’s getting back to excellent levels. In this case as well, I leave the choice to the management and to the willingness of the parties to reach an agreement."
