The question on many AC Milan fans' minds today, following their incredible triumph which leads them to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, is whether or not UEFA's revenues can foot the bill for renewing the contract of the Portuguese left-winger, Rafael Leao.
The Italian newspaper Il Corriere dello Sport raises this interesting proposition in its latest edition. The Rossoneri's lucrative advancement in the competition has generated an additional €20 million in revenue, potentially providing Milan with the financial resources and maneuverability to secure a deal with their gifted number 17. However, only time will tell if the club's newfound success in Europe will translate into a long-term contract for Leao.
The 23-year-old star, former talent of Lille, has netted 9 goals and provided 10 assists to his teammates so far this season after 33 appearances with AC Milan. The right-footed player's contract is valid until June 2024.
