Contract extensions between Maldini and Bennacell

Milan Circle

Milan director Paulo Maldini was a guest at the Milan club last week and spoke in an interview about the progress of contract extensions for Theo, Leo and Bennacell, as well as some transfer-related topics.

Maldini said of the renewal:

'Theo, Leo and Bennacer's contracts expire in 2024 and we will choose the right time to talk to the players about renewal, but like Donnarumma, Casey, Chalkhanoglu and others, we can't always agree in the negotiations."

'At the moment, the negotiations between Special Olympics and Bennacer are ongoing and are progressing well, and we are also in talks with Raphael Leo to complete the contract extension with these three players as soon as possible, although they are all young people, but they have paid a lot for the team so far and we hope that they can continue to pay for the team in the future."

Speaking of the transfer market:

'It's not a very lively transfer period this winter, but we'll do our best, if the team needs to do something, we'll execute it, we'll stick to it until the end of the season with confidence and we'll figure it out in terms of numbers.

Talking about Poberga and the young players

'He is a Milan youth player and he is very happy with us, Milan will keep a close eye on The Growth of Poberga, the close bond between us, he is our child.'
