Chelsea's pursuit to lure Rafael Leao from AC Milan has been a long-standing battle, with the Italian side desperate to keep hold of their talented forward.
The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer as Todd Boehly seeked further reinforcements in the final third. However, a deal was not concluded and the Portugal international has continued to impress in Italy.
Leao has scored four Serie A goals, assisting another five, in nine games as I Rossoneri attempt to retain their league title under Stefano Pioli. He also was presented with two auditions against Chelsea this month in the Champions League, but failed to find the target in either fixtures.
