AC Milan are bracing themselves for offers as Rafael Leao’s future remains uncertain, and one of them could arrive from Real Madrid as per a report.
El Nacional in Spain talk about how Leao has been one of the revelations of Milan since joining from Lille in 2019, but Real Madrid are ‘ready to take him away’ in the coming months. Leao’s contract ends in June 2024 and while Milan have already offered him a big contract, it may not be enough.
Even if the current offer on the table improves, Milan’s economic power is not enough to match the elite sides, and several European giants are ready to offer him a bigger salary to try and tempt Leao away from Italy.
The player knows it and doesn’t want to make any commitments just yet, while the Rossoneri are not closing the door to a potential sale next summer as they would rather get something out of his exit than see him leave for free in 2024.
Real Madrid have resumed discussions with Leao’s agent Jorge Mendes and have already conveyed to him that they are ready to pay €90m for his client, but they will not exceed this figure. Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are also in the running, but are playing more of a waiting game.
