Leao has become Milan’s absolute priority. The Lombard club does not want to go through more trouble and has responded emphatically to the clubs that are hanging around their fashionable striker. Leao has had a brilliant start to 2022 and many powerful teams have set their sights on him, including Atlético.
But Paolo Maldini does not want to be hesitant. He is finalizing Theo’s renewal and now Leao becomes a major issue in Milan.
Teams like Borussia or Atlético, as well as several English players, have looked at Leao’s progress in recent months. From the hand of Pioli he has ordered his skills and is sharpening his game a lot. It comes from giving him the three points and placing Milan in the lead of Serie A with his goal against Sampdoria.
Leao has a contract until 2024, but Maldini does not want to wait. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, the Milanese managers have already sent Jorge Mendes a renewal offer, tripling the footballer’s salary.
From the million and a half a year that he now receives to the four million plus bonus of the offer. Milan is optimistic.
He hopes that after the failure of the TAS, the player’s signature can arrive and that he forgets about the calls from other clubs. Leao has an open cause. He was sentenced to compensate Sporting de Portugal for unilaterally breaking his contract in 2018.
