During his usual video update on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Matteo Moretto provided an update on Milan’s incoming and outgoing transfer activity.
On Rafael Leao:
"Leao is on his way out. His mind is already elsewhere, with the Premier League as his destination. Today, Villa will have a very important contact with Milan in an attempt to complete the deal on a permanent basis. Aston Villa were very clear with Leao yesterday, telling him that the salary they can offer him cannot come close to what Galatasaray are offering. However, Leao has sent a strong signal to the parties involved, because he is willing to earn less as he wants the Premier League and Aston Villa. An agreement between the clubs is still missing, although there is already one between Galatasaray and Milan. There isn’t one with Aston Villa yet, but they are accelerating in an attempt to get to the decisive stage and push through this operation at all costs.”
On Omari Hutchinson:
"Based on the information I have, with Leao’s departure, Milan will make a signing who can replace the Portuguese player. I have always spoken about this left-footed attacking midfielder; Milan are looking for that type of profile. Then we will also see what the market has to offer and what opportunities arise in these final days. Hutchinson has been offered to Milan. As of today, we are at that stage, and we will see whether he is a profile Milan like and will consider for these final days of the transfer window.”
