According to Fichajes, the Champions League champion may spend heavily on the Serie A star.
Rafael Leao is one of the top left wingers in the world. Although the Portuguese player is going through a not very smooth season, he still receives special attention from many big teams.
Besides Chelsea, Manchester City also gives Leao special attention. Although the Champions League champions possess quality attack, they still want to add more stars to the squad to maintain their position in all competitions.
Media revealed that coach Pep Guardiola admires Leao and wants the former Lille player to become part of the club’s development plan.
According to Fichajes, Man City is ready to put 150 million euros on the negotiating table to convince AC Milan to release him. This is a number close to the Portuguese player’s 175 million euro contract release clause.
Although Leao is playing an important role for the Rossoneri, the huge amount of money mentioned above may help them overcome the financial crisis. Therefore, the Italian representative will need to carefully consider the possibility of breaking up or continuing to stick with the 24-year-old star.
