According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan are preparing a new contract offer for Rafael Leao and don’t want to sell the player for less than his €150m clause.
Leao’s contract runs out in June 2024 but the offer prepared by club directors in March is no longer valid.
The Rossoneri had planned to raise Leao’s salary from €1.5m to €4.5m per season, but Leao’s transfer value further increased during the last two months of 2021-22, so Milan are now willing to offer a new €6m-a-year deal to their star, extending his stay until 2026.
The pink paper confirms that Chelsea are interested in the player, but no offer has arrived from Stamford Bridge yet.
Leao has a €150m clause and both Gazzetta and Calciomercato claim that the Serie A giants are unwilling to sell in the summer for a lower fee.
Leao returned to training yesterday and it remains to be seen if he will agree to sign a new deal with the club or look for an even more lucrative deal elsewhere, considering that he has been ordered to pay €16.5m to his former club Sporting CP.
