Official Market: Galatasaray announces Rafael Leão, revealing figures including salary

Rafael Leão has officially joined Galatasaray. The Turkish club confirmed the signing of the winger this Sunday, who arrived in Istanbul on Saturday, and disclosed the financial details of the deal for the Portuguese international, formerly of AC Milan.

Leão, who will wear the number 27 shirt, has penned a four-year contract. According to the four-time Turkish champions, he will earn a net salary of 10 million euros per season. The transfer fee is lower than previously reported: it will not be a fixed 43 million euros plus two million in add-ons, but rather 38 million euros. Galatasaray also announced that AC Milan has retained a 20% sell-on clause for any future transfer profit from Leão.

Rafael Leão departs AC Milan, now managed by Ruben Amorim, after seven seasons. In the 2021/22 campaign, he was crowned Italian champion and named Serie A's best player. He now embarks on the fourth professional challenge of his career, having also played for Sporting CP and Lille. The Rossoneri shared a farewell video, featuring several highlights of the forward's time at the club.
