AC Milan's American owner Gerry Cardinale is working hard to keep the team's star players from leaving. He has already made contact with several key players, including Christian Pulisic and Luka Modric, to persuade them to stay. Pulisic, who has a contract until 2027 or 2028 with an option to extend, is not expected to leave the club anytime soon. Cardinale wants to secure his long-term future and discussions are planned for after the World Cup.

Cardinale has also been in touch with Rafael Leao, and while there are no guarantees about his future, the door remains open for him to stay at Milan. The owner's priority is to keep the team's big names, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. This approach is in contrast to some other players who may be allowed to leave during the summer transfer window.

One player who may be staying is Adrien Rabiot, who is increasingly likely to remain at Milan. The club has also made contact with Mike Maignan to persuade him to stay. Cardinale's efforts to keep the team's star players are ongoing, and it will be interesting to see which players ultimately stay and which ones leave.

The club's strategy to keep its top talent is crucial to its success, both on and off the pitch. With Cardinale at the helm, Milan fans have reason to be optimistic about the team's future.
