AC Milan technical area director, Paolo Maldini, talked to the media recently about the status of the contract negotiations with Leao whose deal is set to expire in 2024.
Although there is no real updates on the matter, the lines of communication remain open. It would be in everyone's best interest to settle this matter sooner rather than later, not only for the present, but also for the future.
If the player extends his contract, the club would have more bargaining power even in the event of a summer transfer. Perhaps the presence of Gerry Cardinale at San Siro tonight could give the negotiations a boost. While RedBird's founder himself doesn't directly handle contract renewals, his influence might be enough to unlock the impasse, writes Tuttosport in this morning's print edition.
