AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are ready to sign new contracts.

Both men have been credited for building Milan's title winning team this past season. However, their contracts are due to expire this month.

MilanNews.it says talks are now at an advanced stage with the club and the pair are now expected to put pen to paper on the new deals at some point next week.

It's suggested they will sign a two year deal with an option for a third, confirming their future for the next few years.
