It had to be the day of the meeting with the father of Rafa Leao at home Milaninstead there was a much more important meeting: the one with Ted Dimvula, the Portuguese player’s lawyer, a first step to lay the foundations on the complicated renewal of the contract expiring in 2024. It starts with a request for 7 million euros, about 2 the gap to be closed, with the possibility of lowering the termination clause currently set at 150 million euros.
THE SITUATION – Of course more meetings will be needed to come to an agreement, but theoptimism is perceptible from the words of the Rossoneri managers, in particular Maldini who assures that he will close within the year for what is undoubtedly the most important deal of the Rossoneri autumn. The problem of double power of attorney entrusted to both Jorge Mendes (considered by the Rossoneri the main interlocutor) and the French lawyer mentioned above on the one hand, and the open slope with Sporting Lisbon that he has yet to collect the approximately 20 million of euro fines from Leao and Nice on the other make it even more complex a business to run on a slow fire.
