New contract incoming? Milan star Leao drops new deal hint amid transfer interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid
- Leao linked with move away from Milan
- Tweet hinted that he would stay in Italy
- Post comes after Pioli's assurances he would renew
WHAT HAPPENED? Rumours of a potential San Siro exit have been circulating since the summer, with the Blues unable to complete a deal after being unwilling to match Milan's asking price. However, after the Rossoneri posted a compilation on Twitter of Leao's greatest strikes in red and black, the Portuguese starlet responded by writing "More to come".
More to come ❤️🖤🫡 https://t.co/Q5aXTTw2s7

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Leao's social media post comes after manager Stefano Pioli revealed that he expected the forward to sign a new deal with Milan. The 23-year-old already has seven goals and six assists across all competitions in 2022-23 and is currently one of the hottest properties in Europe, meaning tying him down to a new deal would be a real coup for the Italian side.
