AC Milan director Frederic Massara has declared that he wants Rafael Leao to reach a decision on his future by the end of the season. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the San Siro for some time now as he continues to impress for the Italian giants.
Leao, who sees his contract with the Rossoneri expire at the end of next season, has been closely watched by Chelsea since joining Milan in 2019, football.london understands. It's said that talks between the Italian side and the Portugal international over a new deal have been ongoing for a while but an agreement is yet to be reached.
After welcoming Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke to west London in January, it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will reignite their interest in Leao. Speaking to Sky Italia, Massara revealed that there's a 'mutual willingness' to reach an agreement, but the Milan director is looking for an ultimatum by the summer.
