Many of Milan’s top players have been compelled to leave for the largest and wealthiest teams in Europe. They have lost Franck Kessie and Gianluigi Donnarumma in back-to-back summers because they are unable to financially compete with other teams.

Paolo Maldini, the president of San Siro, is optimistic that Leao would remain put despite a potential new contract. Maldini said that Leao has a raw talent and he recalled how he felt when Leao arrived at 20 years old. He continued to say that Those young men require assistance when they arrive and if there is a desire to extend Leao’s contract as well as those of Bennacer and Kalulu, negotiations must take place at the table. 

If Red Bull Salzburg loses in their match, Chelsea will move atop their Champions League group, giving them a chance to advance to the knockout stage.
