He remains under contract for another two-and-a-half years, running until the end of the calendar year of 2028.
If Milan are to bring in any new midfielders this transfer window, it is expected that they will have to part company with a few of their current options first.

Yunus Musah is not expected to be a pivotal player under Ruben Amorim either, and it is believed that the club will listen to appropriate offers should they come in for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Youssouf Fofana, Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci.
Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot and youngster Christian Comotto are the midfielders that are practically guaranteed to still be based in San Siro in September.

What happened
AC Milan are pushing to sign Leandro Paredes, the Argentine midfielder currently at Boca Juniors, who previously had a spell at Roma in Serie A. Milan have reportedly tabled a concrete offer to bring the 30-year-old back to Italian football. Paredes has Champions League experience from his time at PSG and would add quality and experience to Milan's midfield. The deal is still in early stages, with Boca Juniors needing to agree terms.
Chance analysis
Paredes would be a short-term midfield reinforcement for Milan, bringing top-level European experience from PSG and Juventus. At 30, he represents a pragmatic rather than long-term signing. If completed, this would slightly strengthen Milan's midfield depth for the second half of the season, though the transfer fee and wage demands from Boca could be a complicating factor.
If completed, Paredes' arrival would marginally strengthen Milan's midfield depth and experience, with limited short-term tactical disruption.
Monitor whether the Paredes transfer completes before the window closes — if signed, Milan's midfield options and experience level improve marginally for upcoming Serie A fixtures.
