Rafael Leao's destiny is yet to be written. The Portuguese striker is set to play a leading role in the upcoming transfer window, one way or another. In fact, AC Milan have a €7 million offer (including bonuses) on the table to secure the renewal of the former Lille player, but some Premier League outfits have been attempting to sign him for several weeks. Chelsea is still in the running, despite investing heavily in Mudryk and Nkunku, but they will have to watch out as Manchester City has entered the race decisively. Leao is indeed a name on Guardiola's wishlist for next season.
AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara need to expedite the process of the renewal this spring, or else it will be too late and the prospect of a sale would emerge for Leao. Il Diavolo club management can't afford to risk losing their most talented player for free in 14 months. The player's desire to remain in the red and black is insufficient; they must find a solution to the fine imposed by Sporting Lisbon. At present, Manchester City and Chelsea are the most authoritative candidates in the event of a breakdown between Leao and the Rossoneri club, as per Calciomercato.com.
