AC Milan force to shield Rafael Leao
According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are ready to meet Rafael Leao to finalize his contract extension as soon as he returns from Qatar.
Portugal will face Morocco in the quarter-finals of the World Cup and the Rossoneri directors will follow the game closely. The champions of A-series are ready to meet their striker to continue negotiations and hope to finalize a new deal with the 23-year-old.
According to the report, the two parties are eager to meet and put pen to paper on a new contract, even if an economic agreement is not yet in place. Leao’s current deal expires in June 2024 and the A.C. Milan is aware that failure to secure his signature by the end of the season would force them to sell their star this summer.
