Milan have one clear star currently and after a Serie A winning campaign, Rafael Leao has started this season with nine goal contributions in nine Serie A games.
Although he has a contract until 2024, negotiations are already underway with many of Europe’s largest vultures circling. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid have all been linked with Leao should the negotiations end without a deal.
Those hopes have been given a boost this week. Sky say that a first meeting between Leao’s representatives and Milan did not go well. Although Gazzetta dello Sport believe there is more reason to be optimistic for the Rossoneri.
Leao owes Sporting CP €16.5m for a previous contract termination and also want to triple his salary to something in the region of €6-7m a year.
It is early stages and negotiations are by no means over, however Real Madrid will be keeping a close eye on the Portuguese star. Following the rejection of Kylian Mbappe in the summer, attacking recruits are back on the table for the coming seasons.
Plays exclusively as left winger and sometimes as striker. Natural position is LW.
Boy I sure wish we had a wonderkid LW who can win CL finals for us…
