The Milan brass will soon meet Jorge Mendes to discuss a few matters. Rafael Leao’s extension will be the main topic of conversation. The Gestifute chairman isn’t technically his agent, but he advises his family and is close to his father.
Per Calciomercato, the Rossoneri will try to learn once and for all whether there’s a chance to renew the star’s contract and its conditions. Without any advancements before the end of the season, they’ll put him up for sale in the summer. His recent lackadaisical showings haven’t helped his case.
On top of Leao, Milan director Paolo Maldini will be open to listening to the proposals by Mendes. They chased after Marco Asensio in the past. He remains a target, even though his wage requests are high and Barcelona are strongly pursuing him.
In addition, the Rossoneri will likely be offered Adama Traoré, who’s on an expiring contract as well. Napoli are keen on the speedster too. The Italian club like Alejandro Baldé, but such pursuit is very challenging. A possible surprise name could be Sporting CP’s midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who’s having a strong season.
Our Take on Milan and Mendes
In the never-ending and seesawing Leao saga, the latest clues hint toward a departure, which would be inevitable without an agreement. His latest displays surely don’t fuel his requests, but that can change in the blink of an eye. Despite some remarks, it’s ultimately still unknown what he wants to do and the terms to strike a deal. It wouldn’t be surprising if his potential replacement came from the same agency.
