In order to avoid a repeat of the incident in which Donnarumma and Calhanoglu left the team as free agents and eventually brought economic losses to the club, AC Milan has been renewing the contracts of many key players in the team since the closing of the summer window last year. On the agenda, Teo, Leo and Ben Nasser, who still have two-year contracts, have also become important figures for the Serie A giants to complete the renewal of their contracts after Salle Marques and Kjaer. After about two months of repeated negotiation and negotiation, Milan finally officially announced the good news that Teo and the club have renewed their 4.5-year long-term contract on the 11th local time; Vitiello and "Gazzetta dello Sport" Milan reporter Marco Falisi have confirmed that the Rossoneri's contract renewal negotiations with Leo and Bennacer have also come to an end.


Since joining from Real Madrid for 21.5 million euros in mid-July 2019, the 24-year-old Theo has played for AC Milan for more than 2 years, while leaving 108 appearances, 19 goals and 18 assists. After signing the contract extension, the young defender, who has made a big splash under Pioli, will further extend his original contract until June 30, 2026. According to Longo, Vitiello and Falisi, in order to keep Theo in the team, the Rossoneri finally chose to significantly increase the salary of the players - after the renewal of the contract, Theo's salary will be reduced from the original 1.5 million The euro rises to 4 million euros; if the player meets certain conditions, the club will pay him a floating bonus of up to 500,000 euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement.


"I am very happy. From the first day I came to Milan, I had a great time with the coach, the team, Maldini - everyone; that's why I finally chose to complete the contract with Milan. After the contract was officially finalized with AC Milan, Theo was full of joy in an interview, "Many teams have extended an olive branch to me, but I only consider staying at AC Milan and fighting side by side with the fans. Milan is really happy - here, I met a lot of friends, teammates, and a baby on the way (Theo's girlfriend is pregnant), and I'm very happy."


"We're an incredible group, we're like a big family. That's why I chose to stay: I'm very happy in Milan, with the fans, with my team-mates, I'm very happy. I wasn't very good. Talking, luckily there were Castillejo, Reina, Biglia and Mousacchio in the team - they could speak Spanish - finally got me talking. With their influence, I now feel It's good, and the character has become more cheerful."
