“The conditions are stipulated, so there’s no need to discuss anything. If he accepts the first ones, he’s renewed; if he wants to earn more than Mbappe, he has to leave in a year and a half.
“Real Madrid isn’t going to force anything, nor will they say, ‘Come on, please renew.’
“Madrid has even thought, ‘Look, he cost €45m’. If in a year and a half he wants to leave for free, Madrid will accept it. Madrid does not want anyone that doesn’t want to be here.
“If Vinicius doesn’t want to renew, and doesn’t want to be here, Madrid won’t force him. They won’t say: ‘Come on, (we will offer) more than Mbappe’.
“The thing is, they haven’t done that with anyone. They haven’t done that with more important players either. If Vinicius thinks Madrid is nervous because time is passing, my advice is, ‘You have a problem’.”

Leao continued: “After a couple of weeks, the director returned and said Milan were interested.
“I was like: ‘Milan, yeah.’ If they come with an offer, I will accept. In a couple of days, he said they’d come with an offer and then said: ‘Someone wants to talk to you.’
“He passed me the phone, and it was (Paolo) Maldini: ‘You have to come‘. Bro, done.
“You can’t say no. Since I was a kid, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, and (Clarence) Seedorf. Those kinds of players you used to watch and hear a lot about.”
