Matteo Moretto, speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, provided an update on Rafael Leao, whose future remains a major question mark. The Portuguese forward, as is no secret, dreams of moving to the Premier League, but for now there is no concrete interest from England. Meanwhile, Milan have not lowered their asking price of €50-60 million, which does not appear to be making the attacker’s departure any easier. In the meantime, he continues to train separately from the group at Milanello, as relayed via Milannews.it.
These are Matteo Moretto’s latest updates on Leao’s future:
“It is true that Aston Villa made an enquiry about Leao, but it was an enquiry between the two clubs, not between the English club and the player. After a few hours of reflection, however, Aston Villa, having considered the cost of the operation both in terms of the transfer fee and Leao’s salary, does not appear to be willing to proceed with the negotiations."
Tottenham as an option, but not everyone there agrees on Leao's profile
"It is true that several situations are emerging because everyone knows that Leao could leave Milan and that he is on the market. Tottenham, for example, is also being talked about a lot, but not everyone at Spurs agrees on Leao as a profile. The player has been offered to Tottenham extensively throughout the summer. In my opinion, it remains to be seen whether Milan will lower their asking price between now and the end of the transfer window, because otherwise, as things stand today, Leao is closer to staying than leaving.”
