AC Milan are back on a winning path, so after a long time at San Siro, things outside the field can also be talked about. And one of the burning topics until the end of the season will be Rafael Leao’s contract. It expires in less than a year and a half, in the summer of 2024, and despite months of negotiations, there is still no agreement on an extension.Therefore, after last night’s victory over Atalanta, Italian journalists tried to find out from Leao in which direction the negotiations are going. As expected, the Portuguese remained silent.”I’m happy in Milan, I’m talking to the people I need to talk to, I can’t comment right now. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season,” Leao told DAZN.##NAJAVA_MECA_7056189##Two scenarios are possible. That AC Milan agree to Leao’s request and allocate 6,000,000 euros per year or else find an alternative and make good money from the sale of the Portuguese striker in the summer, because it will be his last chance for such a thing, since his contract expires at the end of the season.”Nothing has changed, but we are ready to write a new chapter in this story. We want to find a solution to extend the contracts of Leao and Giroud, as we have already agreed with Tonali, Bennacer, Kalulu and others. We are working on it and we hope that we will manage to find a solution soon,” said sports director Ricky Massara.The most interesting answer to the subject of Leo’s contract was given by Zlatan Ibrahimović, the man who took him under his wing upon his arrival at the club and “staighten him up.””I agreed to a salary reduction so that they would give him more money,” said the Swede with a laugh, who after nine months returned to the field last night, playing the last fifteen minutes.Is this the best-ever assist for an own goal? Yes! (VIDEO)So, is it practically agreed or will Ibra have to agree to a new cut so that Milan can raise the offer, journalists asked Ibra?”Hmmm! I’m already playing practically for nothing. If he wants my house, I’ll give him a house too, ha-ha-ha,” the experienced star said jokingly.A reminder – in July of last year, the 41-year-old Swede extended his contract with AC Milan until the end of the current season with a significant salary reduction, from 7,000,000 euros to 1,000,000 to 1,500,000, depending on bonuses.
