Seria A star makes decision about making Premier League move to join Chelsea in January

Rafael Leao is not interested in a move to the likes of CHELSEA in the January transfer window amid all the speculation that a move for the AC Milan star could happen.

The 25-year-old winger, widely regarded as one of the most exciting attacking talents in world football, has developed into one of the most creative players in Seria A over the past few seasons

Enjoying his sixth year at the San Siro, Leao has well and truly settled into life in Milan following a 2019 switch from Lille and his performances in Italy have caught the attention of some of Europe’s elite teams.

Leao is tied into a deal with Milan until 2028 and reports have suggested the Portugal international had an eye-watering €175m (£150m) release clause – which would have to be paid in full by potential suitors to force a move.

However –  a move to the Premier League is not of in his plans, according to MilanLive and he would prefer to stay in Italian football or make the move to La Liga, where Barcelona remain keen.

There has been some reports that Enzo Maresca is looking to add some more quality to that attack, and Leao could definitely do that judging by his performances over the past few seasons.

However – he is not the type of player that deserves £300k-a-week to make the move here, he probably would struggle with the Premier League.
