The player broke his contract and signed with another club, which in the end involved CAS and another club had to pay the fine. The same player is now dragging his negotiations with the champions of Serie A. Problems on the field, problems in Milan’s offices too. According to the Italian media, led by the respected Gazzetta dello Sport, the negotiations between the Rossoneri and the representative of Rafael Leao regarding a new contract have reached an impasse.Kenyan scores a wondergoal in AC Milan’s San Siro embaressementGazzetta even writes that there are no more negotiations, because the two parties could not agree on one detail: the buyout clause. The salary was not a problem. Leao should have received around 7 million euros per year and there is no dispute about that. The problem is that exit clause. In the current contract, it is set at 150,000,000 euros and Milan would like it to stay that way. The managers of the 23-year-old attacker would like to cut it in half so that it is between 70 and 80 million euros. In the era of modern football, that’s a sum that all potential buyers would pay without thinking too much. And that’s exactly why Milan doesn’t want to go that low. Moreover, Milan would prefer to remove that clause from the contract.His life is a living hell: Attacked by supporters, banned by MourinhoWhen he moved to Lille, Leao did so but breaking his contract with Sporting arbitrarily, and the French club ended up paying for that. The player then moved to Milan and after one great season, he already looks beyond Italia. He is eying a more lucrative move in a season or two and wants to get out as easer as possible from Milan, when the time comes. Leao’s contract with the Rossoneri runs until June 2024. If there is no progress, Milan could panic already in the summer, because Leao will enter the last year of his contract. That detail alone would significantly lower its price. So it is a race against time and a battle of nerves. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6988515##
