I’ll wrap him up in a package myself’: Milan President admits he’d leap at 150m for youngster

Milan President Paolo Scaroni has caused shockwaves with his comments about the future of Rafael Leao. ‘If they offer us 150 million, I’ll wrap him up in a package myself.’

Scaroni was overheard by Agenzia Dire while speaking to fans outside a ceremony at the Quirinale in Rome.

“Leao? If they offer us €150m, I’ll wrap him up in a package myself. I am after all very venal person,” joked the President.

“The priority right now is finding a centre-forward.”

Rafael Leao contract clause with Milan

The Portugal international only recently signed a new contract to June 2028 and it is reported there is a release clause worth €175m in the deal, which is valid only for a 10-day window in the summer.

That is from July 5 to July 15, which was meant to provide Milan with guarantees and note the value of the player to their project.

Therefore, these comments that even €150m would be more than acceptable become rather embarrassing for the club and their star man.

Paris Saint-Germain are known to be seeking a replacement for Kylian Mbappé and Rafael Leao would be among the ideal candidates.

Another is also from Serie A, as they have set their sights on Napoli winger Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.
