Milan still have no agreement with Leao or Giroud

AC Milan are working hard on finding common ground with the representatives of Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao about new contracts for the attacking pair to sign, but according to sporting director Frederic Massara, there is no real progress worth reporting as of yet. Given that the club have been making an effort for months now, it seems there are significant obstacles in the way.

Giroud and Leao are, of course, in different stages of their respective careers, the French striker being 36 and the Portuguese winger 23, and there s a different sort of interest from elsewhere in their services. But they ve both been important for Milan s return to the top of Italian football over the recent years, especially the Scudetto triumph last season.

There is obviously more reason to protect the value of Leao with a new contract, despite the fact that he ll have 12 months on his current deal left at the end of the season, when the one currently in place for Giroud expires. A number of top clubs around Europe are believed to be monitoring Leao s situation closely.

AC Milan director Massara: We ve still no updates on Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud s new deals. But we re still working to find a solution with their agents .

We absolutely want to keep Giroud and Leão. We re working to reach an agreement as soon as possible .
