AC Milan are trying to lower the total compensation amount that Rafael Leao owes to Sporting CP, according to a report from Portugal.
According to reports from A Bola (via MilanNews), Milan are trying to lower the amount of compensation that Leao has to pay to the Lisbon side following the unilateral termination exercised by the player in 2018 after the assault from some ultras at their training ground.
The Portuguese source mentions that two meetings have already taken place between the parties, but without having reached an agreement over the amount because the president of Sporting CP – Frederico Varandas – wants to receive the entire €19m amount to which his club are entitled.
However, Sporting do appreciate Maldini’s recent declarations to La Gazzetta dello Sport during which he said that Milan ‘have nothing to do with’ the Sporting case, which the Portuguese club believe will help to put pressure on the issue given renewal talks are of paramount importance.
