Stefano Pioli seemed confident that star forward Rafael Leao would put pen to paper on a new contract.
The 23-year-old Portuguese forward only has 18 months left on his contract with the Rossoneri and the club are keen to tie him down to a new deal. Chelsea emerged late in the summer window to explore a move for Leao and the expectation is that they’ll return to the charge should Leao decide not to sign a new contract.
Speaking to Sky Sports Italia, Pioli gave his thoughts on Leao’s future and the chances of seeing him pen a new deal.
“Two things are sure, that he is well with us, because I see and talk to him, and that Rafa and the club are talking.
“We are waiting for good news. I believe that his path with us is not yet finished, I see that we are well together.”
The 23-year-old Leao has been a key player for Milan over the last few years. Last campaign, he scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 34 Serie A appearances, playing an important role in their Scudetto run, and this season he’s been equally as decisive, scoring six and providing five in 14 league games.
