Milan is poised to make a sizable bid for Rafael Leao’s contract extension as pressure mounts as the transfer window draws near.
As of now, the two biggest clubs in Europe, Chelsea and Real Madrid, have both shown a keen interest in signing the Portuguese winger in the near future.

Rafael Leao has had a strong start to the season thus far, scoring six goals and dishing out four assists in 14 games for the Rossonerri in Serie A, making him the team’s leading goalscorer so far. Additionally, Leao was crucial to Pioli when Milan won the Scudetto last season.
The talented attacker’s deal is slated to expire in the summer of 2024, and the Milanese club is inclined to offer a significant rise in order to preserve their high-flying trio in the front line.
In order to permanently tie Leao down to the San Siro and eliminate the possibility of leaving him for a cut-rate transfer price next season, Milan is reportedly planning to offer him a contract extension worth of 7 million euros each season.
