AC Milan forward Rafael Leao is reportedly considering a transfer away from the club, with several top European teams rumored to be interested in acquiring his services. According to recent reports, Leao is not interested in extending his contract with Milan beyond 2024 and is said to be unimpressed with the offer on the table.
Chelsea, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are among the clubs reportedly interested in Leao, with Chelsea having already held talks with Milan. However, Milan has reportedly rejected Chelsea’s offer of €70 million for the forward, as they are rumored to be holding out for a transfer fee of €150 million, the amount of Leao’s release clause.
Leao has impressed in his time with Milan, scoring 34 goals and picking up 30 assists in 135 appearances for the club since joining in 2019. At just 23 years old, he has already shown great potential and is considered one of the top young forwards in the game.
It remains to be seen where Leao will end up, but with several top clubs interested in his services, it is sure to be an interesting transfer saga to follow. Whether he stays with Milan or makes a move to another club, Leao will be a player to watch in the coming years.
