Chelsea is ready to put AC Milan to the test with a €100 million bid for Rafael Leao. The Blues consider the Portuguese Serie A star to be one of their top targets for next summer, but they are wary of growing competition from rivals in the attacker position.
Rafael Leao has caused a schism among AC Milan fans because he has yet to agree on new terms. The Rossoneri are eager to resolve his contractual situation, if the player’s demands are met.
While Milan has reportedly agreed to his large salary demands, they may want to avoid paying the player’s other financial demands. Leao owes Sporting CP around €19 million and is looking for Milan’s assistance.
Chelsea is said to have given Leao assurances about a large salary and other demands. The Blues have been interested in the Serie A star since last summer, so they may pursue him again in the coming window.
