The highly-rated Rafael Leao has indicated that he will sign a new contract at AC Milan, according to club technical director Paolo Maldini.
The winger is thought to be on the radar of several top European clubs, with Manchester City among those rumoured to have an interest. The 23-year-old netted 14 times in last season’s title-winning campaign and scored two goals for Portugal at the World Cup to add to the eight he has for his club this term.
Leao has 18 months left on his contract and Milan are keen to tie him down to another deal to quell the speculation around his future this summer. And club legend-turn-chief Maldini says he believes the youngster is willing to extend his stay at the San Siro.
