AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli says the club will offer Rafael Leao a new contract.
The Milan star was the subject of a bid from Chelsea near the end of the transfer window but the Rossoneri are determined to keep him for years to come.
"The club wants to offer Leao a new deal soon. They will take care of it - he's working at the best level," Pioli said.
Chelsea make Ampadu request
The English club have sent Ethan Ampadu out on loan to Serie A side Spezia and have requested the Italian side play the 21-year-old in central defence, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
"Chelsea asked me to play Ethan Ampadu as centre-back," said manager Luca Gotti. "They asked for it as they see Ampadu returning there in one year and playing as centre-back in the future."
