AC Milan have reportedly begun preparing contact extensions for defenders Alex and Christian Zapata.
Milan are undefeated in their past nine Serie A matches, a run which has seen the Rossoneri turn their season around and club executives are ready to reward their performing players with extended deals.
According to Corriere dello Sport, negotiations will begin with Alex and Zapata who have solidified themselves as a dependable centre-back pairing.
The contracts of both players are set to expire at the end of the season.
Alex is currently 33-years-old and has made 18 appearances for Milan this season, scoring two goals. Meanwhile, Colombian Zapata is likely considered a longer-term option at 29 and having made 12 appearances thus far, he’s scored once.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the same good faith will not be awarded to fellow defender Philippe Mexes.
The Frenchman also holds a contract that is set to expire at the end of the season and will therefore need to find a new club, with Fiorentina previously rumoured to have shown interest in the 33-year-old.
