Milan Director hands Chelsea boost in chase for exciting star
AC Milan Director Paolo Maldini has given Chelsea a boost in their chase to try and sign Rafael Leao
With Blues boss Graham Potter looking to add some serious quality to that attack in the coming transfer windows – there has been alot of speculation that the Premier League giants are keen on Leao
AC Milan are reportedly preparing themselves for big-money offers in the region of £105million for their star man in January – and it seemed that the club were the only serious contenders for the winger
Man City have entered the chase to try and sign the gifted attacker – however – so we will now have the best side in England competing for the services of Leao – if you believe the reports.
Milan were hoping to tie him down to a new deal so as to end speculation about his future – but Maldini says the Italians have yet to find an agreement with the player:
“We’ve been talking about this [contract extension] for months, if not years. We’ll meet at the right moment and make a decision.
“The idea was to close [the deal] before the World Cup, especially with players involved in the competition, Leao in this case. It was not possible.”
