Rafael Leao proved once again how incredible and crucial he is to the AC Milan squad and coach as he helped greatly in delivering three important points in the derby as he scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition, everyone is absolutely convinced of the value and quality that Rafael Leao adds to the team. But, there is no agreement yet on the renewal just yet. For his part, Leao would like to stay and it is clear that the next few weeks or months should be decisive for the future.
The player and his agent Jorge Mendes expect a salary of 7 million euros net per season for five years. In this situation, Milan will be helped by the Growth Decree. The cost of the gross salary, therefore, would be around 10.5 million euros. It is a big investment but Milan cannot just let go of such an important talent like Leao. A renewal is crucial and a must.
