Rafael Leão’s future at AC Milan remains uncertain, with the Portuguese winger attracting interest from several clubs during the summer transfer window.
According to Sky Sport, Leão was offered to Roma earlier this summer. However, the Giallorossi were put off by Milan’s valuation with the Rossoneri demanding between €60 million and €70 million to consider a sale. Roma are not prepared to invest that amount, making a move highly unlikely.
Meanwhile, Matteo Moretto reports that Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe have emerged as the leading contenders for the 26-year-old. Both Turkish clubs are capable of meeting Milan’s asking price and offering Leão a lucrative contract although the player has yet to decide on his next destination.
Speaking on the Brazilian podcast Podpah, Leão addressed the speculation surrounding his future.
“I have to report to training camp on the 29th, and while I’m there, I’ll give it my all. I will always respect the shirt that has given me everything. It’s a club that has helped me a lot in every way, but in life you also have ambitions for other things. If that happens, I’ll evaluate my options, but for now I remain a Milan player.”
For the time being, Roma appear to be out of the race with Milan’s valuation making a deal financially unrealistic.
