O Milan took everything he could at the Gran Galà del Calcio assembled by AIC for the last season in which he lived as a protagonist and, therefore, its most representative elements, such as Stefano Pioli and Rafael Leao. A solo Rossoneri, as the best team, best coach, best player in Serie A. And then, the title of “best goalkeeper” for debutant Mike Maignan and many appearances in the Top11 final. An almost total apotheosis that enchanted Milan fans.

In all this, celebrating the current Italian champions, also the satisfaction of their leaders, represented by Paulo Maldini and Frederic Massara, fresh out of a makeover with the newly owned Redbird, which laid a solid foundation for the future. Smiles and declarations of esteem and trust for what has been done with the objective of making everything even more solid and lasting. Thus, the former captain, now director of the technical area, looks forward to the next developments that await the company and the Portuguese star, in a “beginner” of a lunch whose main course will arrive today, Tuesday, October 18th.

Underline that everything is ready to sit at the negotiating table with a clear awareness of power close the deal for the extensioneven Frederic Massara who unbuttoned himself more than Maldini, on a subject that has been dragging on for some time: “We are confident and want to consolidate the current growth to stabilize the team’s competitiveness. Now let’s try to find a solution to continue with Lion for a long time”. He was then elected MVP of the 2021/2022 championship, also taking the 14th place (the best among Serie A players) in the 2022 Ballon d’Or, where Karim Benzema triumphed.

Therefore, the most sought after and representative player of the current AC Milan arrives at the appointment for the renewal with considerable contractual strength, an element that does not scare Milan, but that pushes towards the final agreement: “Your father is here tonight“underlined a serene Massara in the Gran Galà, “so we’ll have the opportunity to talk already at dinner”. Prodrome for the official meeting at the Rossoneri, where they will try to put everything in black and white, first of all the long-awaited signatures.

After all, Maldini himself had already announced without veils: “With Leon availability remains, we would like to close everything before the World Cup”, meeting in which Leão will try to be the protagonist with his Portugal. Now, however, the first and last act of renewal, with the meeting at Casa Milan between the management of AC Milan, the father and the lawyer of the Portuguese striker to eliminate any last obstacles. The main problem remains the clarification between the parties about the famous compensation to Sporting Lisboa, because much of the debate revolves around this amount (about 16 million euros).

Milan absolutely intend to reach an agreement and the latest rumors lead to a club that would also be available to help the player in a case to be filed as soon as possible: with a double path, i.e. a significant salary increase, with the player’s request of 7 million per season, or help pay part of the compensation to the Portuguese company. Not insurmountable mountains, it will be enough to identify the least tortuous path that leads to the top to please everyone. Well before the World Cup.
