Moretto: Milan intend to agree renewal with Leao but ‘offers’ could be evaluated

AC Milan remain in talks with Rafael Leao’s entourage over a renewal, yet a potential sale cannot be entirely excluded.

It would be fair to describe 2025-26 as a strange season for Leao thus far, who has eight goals to his name despite playing in a new role. He isn’t at 100% currently, and was forced to sit out of last night’s win over Bologna.

In recent weeks there has been talk of a potential contract renewal for Leao, who last extended during the 2022-23 season, when Milan were on their run to the final four of the Champions League. Calciomercato.com even recently spoke of a mutual desire to continue together.

Renewal, then…?

Matteo Moretto spoke in a YouTube video on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian channel to give an update on a number of topics, and he commented on the future of the former Lille man.

“Leao’s contract expires in 2028. The parties are already negotiating and are determined to reach an agreement on an extension. We’ll see if any offers for the Portuguese come in this summer,” he said.

So, the implication is that Igli Tare and co. intend to get Leao to sign an extension on his current deal, but that this would not necessarily render him unsellable once the window reopens again.
