Todd Boehly can unlock Chelsea a huge boost in the race to sign Rafael Leao by appointing Luis Campos as sporting director. The AC Milan forward was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in recent months and the Blues are said to be monitoring his situation.
According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, as quoted by Milan News, the west Londoners are monitoring Leao's fresh contract talks with the Rossoneri. The report adds that the 23-year-old wants in the region of £118,000-per-week and for Milan to contribute towards the £14million he was told to pay former club Sporting Lisbon.
In July, The Telegraph reported that Leao surfaced as an option for the west Londoners. Talk of a move to Chelsea cooled following the arrival of Raheem Sterling, but the the club eventually reignited interest late into the summer transfer window, according to the Times.
