Anglo must resolve the issue of Rafael Leao and his contract expiring on 30 June 2024 as soon as possible.
At calciomercato.it, live on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, the renewal of the Portuguese champion and Olivier Giroud is discussed.
Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Luca Bianchin focused on the future of AC Milan’s two strikers and the Rossoneri’s repair market. The most delicate issue is obviously the renewal of Leao’s contract, which expires in June 2024. The Milan executives have been trying for days to reach an agreement for the renewal with the Portuguese’s representatives. But the risk is that some other team will offer much more money outside.
“Leao’s renewal is complicated,” Luca Bianchin admitted to the microphones of calciomercato.it live on TVPLAY. “I think Giroud’s is easier.” After which he also argued on the question of the extreme defender.
“The Sportiello negotiation is at an advanced stage,” Bianchin revealed. For the journalist, Tatarusanu did not do so badly, and it is a fact that Milan did not lose points despite some of his mistakes. “Generally Milan took more goals than last year, but it is also true that Tatarusanu on that ball against Arsenal cannot go with that attitude. In January Maignan will return to play. “
Leao’s renewal and Milan’s market problems
“There will be no excitement in the market,” said the journalist. But then he added that this will also apply to other teams. For Milan, the crucial question at the moment is that of renewals.
“The situation of Leao is complicated. But he wants to talk to AC Milan as soon as possible. The question of Bennacer also seems complicated to me. However, the possibility of an offer for Leao is concrete. At 120 million you can’t keep him for economic reasons, then let’s not forget that there is the Sporting Lisbon question”.
Bianchin also spoke about Giroud, and said that for him the renewal of the Frenchman is much easier: “Also for the level of empathy that has been created, Giroud is destined to stay. They are in love with each other’.
There is the possibility of a farewell for Mirante. But for the gionalist it is too early to say. “There is a question related to the lists. Last year Milan decided on the third goalkeeper in June. Also on the list was Plizzari who went to Pescara. The question of the third goalkeeper remained in the balance until the Scudetto. But I think it’s premature to talk about that now. At the moment there is Jungdal who made an appearance in the Champions League in Zagreb. Then there’s also Maria Nava, who’s making a goalkeeping appearance for AC Milan in the Youth League, who earned the qualification against teams like Chelsea, Zagreb and Salzburg, who are well placed at youth level. “
