On the day of 150 appearances on the Rossoneri bench, Stefano Pioli and Milan are looking for a consolation against coach Bocchetti's new Verona after the bad Champions League experience against Chelsea. Siebert complicated the Rossoneri's European path: the next stages against Dinamo Zagreb - in which Tomori will be unavailable due to disqualification - and Salzburg do not admit results other than victory.
No turnover
Despite the impressive tour de force, between the league and the national team, of this last month, Pioli is not thinking about turnover and insists on the daring eleven that took the field at San Siro against Chelsea, where in the first twenty minutes he put Potter's team under. As Corriere dello Sport writes, the person confirmed is Rafael Leao, or "the man Milan cannot do without and who in the project of the managers of the technical area is the figure around whom to build the cycle of the future."
Renewal issue
A new meeting will be staged in midweek on the issue of contract renewal, which expires in 2024. Milan's goal is to close the talks before the World Cup begins, but the project risks being utopian. Besides the confusion around the Portuguese, the real obstacle is the last 16.5 million Leao has to pay Sporting. The striker trusts that the future club will contribute to the payment. But that is not enough: the demand is 7 million, making it clear that a lower salary is not enough. The first soundings are coming from Paris, given also the Mbappe situation.
