Milan will need to haggle some more with Christian Pulisic, but their strategy is to keep most of the players on their squad and extend their contracts before the summer. A few of them already did it in recent months. They have a couple more whose deals are up in 2027 and are highly likely to put pen to paper soon.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the next on the docket is Fikayo Tomori. He had some up-and-down campaigns in the past, where his status as a starter was questioned. It hasn’t been the case this year. He has returned close to the levels of their last Scudetto. His renewal will likely be the first one to be finalized.
Milan have also made strides in the talks with Ruben Loftus-Cheek. He’d have the chance to be a fixture on other sides, but Massimiliano Allegri holds him in high regard, and he’s been effective. He’s leaning toward staying. In that event, his contract would have to be prolonged to avoid a future Bosman transfer down the line.
The Rossoneri have already taken care of Mike Maignan, Alexis Saelemaekers, and Davide Bartesaghi. They are all tied to the team until either 2030 or 2031. Rafael Leao already has a long-term pact as a result of a seemingly never-ending negotiation. However, he might add a year to it and remodulate his wages.
It’d be par for the course, as all have been good enough to be confirmed. The less crowded schedule has masked the fact that they are thin in several roles. They’d have to do too much in the summer if they decided to move on from some of their current regulars.
