"The goal was his ninth of the season, exceeding the quota for the entire last season (8) and the 80th of his Rossoneri career. More should follow and Leao could even set himself other great targets, like 100 goals or spending 10 years at the club."
"Leao has been a Rossoneri player since the summer of 2019, when he arrived from Lille, signing a five-year contract. His exploits - including winning the Scudetto as the league MVP and impressing in the Champions League - led to lengthy negotiations for a renewal, which was signed in June 2023."
"This renewal also confirmed his new status: from a promising youngster with a salary of €1.5m net per year to the team's highest-paid star, with a salary practically quadrupled to €5.5m plus bonuses. A second renewal would result in a further pay rise."
Rafael Leao achieved a significant milestone by scoring against Cremonese, marking Milan's first win with Leao scoring since January. His ninth goal of the season already exceeds his entire previous season total of eight goals, bringing his career tally to 80 for the Rossoneri. Leao celebrated by sharing the moment with Nkunku, who provided the assist. Beyond individual achievement, this goal coincides with ongoing contract renewal discussions between Leao and Milan. His current contract expires in June 2028, but negotiations could extend it by two additional seasons. Since joining Milan in 2019, Leao has evolved from a promising prospect earning €1.5m annually to the club's highest-paid player at €5.5m plus bonuses following his 2023 renewal.
