AC Milan winger Rafael Leao was close to extending his contract with the club in January, but something changed at the last minute. According to Matteo Moretto, Leao was very near to agreeing a new deal, only for it to fall through. The reasons behind this sudden change are not specified.

The situation surrounding Leao's contract has been a subject of interest for some time. His current deal with AC Milan still has a few years left to run. The club will be keen to secure his long-term future and prevent speculation about his potential departure.

Leao's performances have been a key factor in AC Milan's recent successes. The 23-year-old has been a vital player for the team, contributing significantly to their attacking play. His pace, skill, and goalscoring ability have made him a fan favorite at the San Siro.

Securing Leao's future will be a priority for AC Milan's management. The club will likely engage in further negotiations with his representatives to find a mutually agreeable solution.
