GdS: A ‘Leao-like’ offer – Milan preparing newest renewal offer for Theo | OneFootball

Now that the European Championship is finished for France, there are two big tasks for AC Milan to begin, and a report from this morning has suggested that the Rossoneri are preparing to make a ‘Leao-like’ offer.

By all accounts, Milan are in a fantastic position in the mercato, and their budget is very healthy. However, the sale of a star cannot be ruled out, even if no one is technically ‘for sale’.

The story leading up to the mercato was that there was no pressure to sell, and there did not have to be a ‘sacrifice’ for the Rossoneri to improve the squad, like was the case last summer. Instead, the only reason stars would leave is if offers too good to refuse arrived.

Fears about Rafael Leao were put to bed quickly, given the release clause exists and his contract is lengthy, but the same cannot be said for Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez, and it is the latter whose deal is under scrutiny at the moment, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below).

Vital two months…

At present, Milan have a season of safety, but even then, if an agreement is not reached, it will not feel like a safety net, which is why the figures must be arranged quickly.

Gazzetta suggests that the deal being concocted by the management is on a similar economic level to Leao’s, and it would see the Frenchman earn €6.5 million per season net, a reasonable figure for the player who is the vice-captain and five years for the Diavolo.

However, there is no rush, and other things will take priority, such as finalising deals for Strahinja Pavlovic, Alvaro Morata and Youssouf Fofana, which allows Theo to enjoy his well-earned holidays.

No offers

The worry was that offers would arrive before and during the Euros, but that has not been the case, and nothing concrete has arrived on the doorstep of Casa Milan, and whilst rumours of interest exist, they have not been made into anything tangible.

It remains to be seen whether Theo will ‘stay or leave’ as he said, but with a mega contract in the works, all we can do now is see, but Milan are confident.
