Milan and Rafael Leao are parting ways after seven years together. What happens now?
The negotiations with Galatasaray have reached a turning point. The clubs have reached a preliminary agreement worth €45 million plus bonuses, and the green light from the Portuguese forward and his entourage has also arrived for a yealy wage of 10 million euros plus bonuses.
The sale of the No. 10 is almost official, as a result, the Rossoneri management are back on the market to find Ruben Amorim a new attacking midfielder to complete a group that currently includes Christian Pulisic, Alphadjo Cisse, Alexis Saelemaekers and the two 'adapted' options, Adrien Rabiot and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

What kind of profile is AC Milan seeking?
The profile of the player wanted by Amorim is well known: a left-footed player who can operate on the right side of the attacking midfield behind the striker.
From a tactical perspective, the aim is to open up space for the two wide midfielders to push forward. In Amorim's ideas, the two attacking midfielders must work by moving into the centre. Cisse, for example, did this well on the left against Torino, but Loftus-Cheek, due to his technical characteristics, was unable to replicate it on the opposite side.
It is no coincidence that all the names to have emerged on the Rossoneri's list in recent weeks fit this profile.
Alvyn Sanches:
Alvyn Sanches is the latest name to have been added to the list.
The 2003-born Young Boys player, born in France but a Swiss national, is regarded in Switzerland as one of the best young talents around and is particularly highly rated by Milan's scouting department.
For this reason, Sky Sport reports that the Rossoneri are keeping the contacts alive and held further talks today to monitor the situation.
Matias Soulé:
Matias Soulé also remains on Milan's radar. In Roma's season opener against Fiorentina, Rodrigo Mora was preferred to him from the start, at least, suggesting that Gasperini has other ideas for the Argentine.
In recent hours, the Argentine has once again been offered to Milan, but the sticking point remains his valuation: the Giallorossi are looking to receive around €30 million from his sale.
Brahim Diaz:
The former player who could return. The strong relationship between Milan and Brahim Diaz is well known, and the Moroccan international has once again been linked with the Diavolo in recent hours, although it would not be a straightforward deal.
A major factor is the 1999-born player's desire to remain at Real Madrid and fight for his place under José Mourinho, a message that has also been conveyed to other clubs, including Juventus, who have followed him throughout the summer.
Ethan Nwaneri:
Another name that has been on Milan's radar for some time. Ethan Nwaneri has returned to London after his loan spell at Marseille, but the 19-year-old Englishman is not central to Mikel Arteta's plans and will therefore probably leave Arsenal in the final days of the transfer window in search of regular playing time elsewhere.
Milan like him, but the problems are his valuation, which is above €40 million, and the proposed deal structure, with the Gunners considering a loan that would allow them to retain control of the player's registration rights. This is also a detail that has so far held back Newcastle.
