Milan in Active Talks with Three Clubs for Leão, Winger Has Already Shut Down Several Options
AC Milan is currently in active negotiations with three clubs regarding a potential transfer for Rafael Leão. According to reports in the Italian media, these clubs are Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Galatasaray, the latter of which has been pursuing the Portuguese winger for some time. It's understood that Milan's management is not lowering their asking price for the winger, seeking between 50 and 60 million euros, despite Leão not featuring in Ruben Amorim's plans and with only a few days remaining until the transfer window closes.
While it was initially believed Leão favored a move to the Premier League, Nicolo Schira reports that the Portuguese international has already rejected offers from Newcastle and Al-Hilal. Furthermore, he has never entertained a move to Aston Villa due to their low salary offer. The source claims that for Leão himself, there are currently only two options: either a transfer to Galatasaray or remaining at AC Milan.
Leão missed the first match of the new Serie A season due to injury.
