"This has not been an easy start to the season for Leao. After all, he has missed a good chunk of the opening with an injury. However, he is back to being the starter that Milan need, and has scored three Serie A goals in as many starts. The idea of centrality has been reinforced by these performances, especially with Massimiliano Allegri shaping his team around the Portuguese star. Now, it seems that the Rossoneri want to reinforce that position."
"The club initiated initial discussions with the player's entourage to negotiate a contract renewal. The current deal expires in June 2028, and there's no rush to sign an extension. However, after initial preliminary discussions in the summer, the management has reopened the discussion in recent weeks, considering offering Leao a new contract. This is yet another sign that Rafa is central to AC Milan's project, both now and in the coming years."
Leão missed the start of the season through injury but has returned as a starter, scoring three Serie A goals in three starts. Massimiliano Allegri has shaped the team around Leão, reinforcing his centrality in the attack alongside Pulisic. Club management has reopened talks on a contract renewal despite the current deal running until June 2028 and no immediate rush to sign an extension. The club views Leão as central to its short- and long-term project and wants to prioritise securing his long-term future, taking lessons from previous contract situations.
