AC Milan Still Keeps Rafael Leao

DBasia.news – AC Milan is showing determination to keep its young striker, Rafael Leao. The Rossoneri have just turned down two offers for the 22-year-old.

Leao is slowly starting to get a place in the Milan first team. So far this season, he has played 19 times in all competitions and contributed five goals and three assists.

The record is quite good considering that the front row of Milan is filled with big names such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud. That means Leao’s quality is quite competitive.

According to a Calciomercato report, Leao is in demand by a number of clubs. Two official offers from England and Germany have even been received by Milan management.

However, the offer was immediately rejected by Milan. City rivals Inter Milan have no intention of selling Leao.

Milan’s decision is quite surprising. Leao indeed had time to enter the selling list after his performance was less consistent.

Leao’s rapid development seems to make Milan think twice about selling him. He has the potential to be a reliable spearhead in the future.

From the same report, Milan now wants to extend Leao’s tenure. Even though his old contract will only expire in the summer of 2024.

Milan management has scheduled a meeting with Leao’s agent, Jorge Mendes. A significant increase in salary is the capital to keep the player.

Leao was brought by Milan from Lille in the summer of 2019. At that time the official price reached 29 million euros.
