AC Milan legend Paulo Maldini has played down talk suggesting the Italian giants could lose Rafael Leao to Chelsea and stressed that the striker wants to stay in Milan.
Leao emerged as a potential transfer target for the Blues this summer after plundering 11 goals and eight assists in all competitions last season. And the Portuguese forward has carried that rich vein of form into the new campaign, where he has bagged six league goals in as many games.
The 23-year-old's impressive returns are unlikely to deter Chelsea's interest - even though the Londoners' previous attempts to thrash out a deal for the sought-after striker were emphatically knocked back by the Italian champions.
