Milan Transfer Market: Time for Contract Extensions—The Priority Is Two Star Players Whose Contracts Expire in 2028

With the transfer window having closed without any major moves in the final hours, it’s already time for Milan to look to the future. The Rossoneri have identified two particularly important contract extensions: those of Adrien Rabiot and Strahinja Pavlovic, considered two pillars of Amorim’s team. Both players’ contracts expire in 2028, with an option to extend their contracts for an additional season. Milan, however, does not want to wait until the last minute and will try to put new agreements in writing in the coming weeks to secure the two players.

For Rabiot, in particular, an important meeting is in the works. Gerry Cardinale is expected to meet personally with the midfielder’s mother and agent, with the goal of taking stock of the situation and laying the groundwork for an extension. The club’s plan is to extend the contract at least through 2030, accompanied by a salary increase. The Frenchman’s salary could thus reach 5 million euros per season, a figure that would place him among the highest-paid players on the entire Rossoneri roster. This is significant recognition for a player whom Milan considers central to its technical project.

Then there’s Pavlovic, who has already been on the radar of several foreign clubs during recent transfer windows. In this case as well, talks with the Serbian defender’s representatives have continued, and negotiations appear to have reached an advanced stage. For the center back, the goal is even more ambitious: a new contract running through 2031 is on the table. Milan therefore wants to preempt potential offers from abroad and secure one of the cornerstones of its defense for the long term.

After wrapping up incoming and outgoing transfers, Casa Milan is already looking beyond the transfer window. The priority now is to lock down Rabiot and Pavlovic, two players considered essential for the present and, above all, for the future of the Rossoneri project.
