Contract renewal on one hand, release clause on the other: these are the two question marks that hang over the futures of Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao with Milan.
Today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport picks up on the cooling break incident that occurred at the Olimpico to discuss the future of the two players.
The Frenchman has a contract until June 30, 2026, and according to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, discussions for a renewal are ongoing.
The interest from many top clubs, though, might cause him to waver, as might his prioritization of Milan: is it still his priority? It’s no secret, writes the newspaper, that he considered leaving in June.
For the Portuguese player, we are talking about a different context because his renewal is recent (until June 2028), and Milan has shielded him from Barcelona’s approach in the final days of the transfer window.
The new agreement, however, includes a release clause of 175 million euros, payable over three years. It’s a high figure, but we cannot rule anything in the transfer market.
