Romagnoli’s contract expires in 2022 and the defender has been linked with moves to Lazio and Barcelona in recent weeks.
Now, Gazzetta dello Sport claims Milan see their captain as a ‘pillar’ and are ready to push through renewal negotiations with agent Mino Raiola.
Milan have reportedly set aside funds to keep Alessio Romagnoli and Ante Rebic for the long haul.
Romagnoli’s contract expires in 2022 and the defender has been linked with moves to Lazio and Barcelona in recent weeks.
Now, Gazzetta dello Sport claims Milan see their captain as a ‘pillar’ and are ready to push through renewal negotiations with agent Mino Raiola.
Raiola is said to be expecting more than the €3.5m his client currently earns a season, but the Rossoneri would be making him an exception to their cost-cutting measures.
The same, writes the newspaper, applies for Rebic, who is in the midst of a two-year loan from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The forward had begun hitting form for Milan before coronavirus broke out, scoring seven goals in 18 games.
La Gazzetta writes how Ivan Gazidis, Ricky Massara and Paolo Maldini are all in favour of keeping the Croat on a permanent basis.
The COVID-19 outbreak could also force Eintracht to reduce their €40m asking price for the Fiorentina old boy.
